	RAM rated Thailand &ldquo;gBBB1(pi)&rdquo; on the global scale and &ldquo;seaAA1(pi)&rdquo; on the Asean scale.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Thailand benefits from low oil prices, which improve its trade balance, the rating agency said. Coupled with declining capital imports, its current account hit a surplus of 6 per cent in the second quarter. As of June, the level of reserves was sufficient to fund 10 months of imports and 2.9 times the country&rsquo;s short-term external debt.</div>
<div>
	Despite the benefit of a low base in 2014, Thailand&rsquo;s economy continues to be weak, with growth slowing to 2.8 per cent in the second quarter from 3 per cent in the first, and a surprise 25-basis-point policy-rate cut in April failing to boost the economy.&nbsp;</div>
