Thai Stock Exchange Anticipates Year-End Inflow of 30 Billion Baht

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) projects an influx of 20,000 to 30,000 million baht into the Thai stock market during the final two months of 2026. According to SET President Asadej Kongsiri, this capital is expected to be driven by tax-advantaged investment funds, particularly the Thai ESG fund, which offers tax deductions of up to 300,000 baht for a five-year holding period. When combined with other tax benefits, individuals may access total deductions of approximately 800,000 baht, serving as a significant incentive for year-end investment allocation.

For residents and investors, this influx may signal a period of increased market activity and potential stability. The SET is also monitoring the development of the Thailand Investment Savings Account (TISA) measure, currently being drafted by the Ministry of Finance. This initiative aims to provide more flexible, long-term savings tools tailored to individual financial stages, potentially broadening the investor base and strengthening the domestic capital market. Currently, the Thai stock market index maintains a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 13.3, which is noted as being below the average by one standard deviation. While these projections offer a positive outlook for market liquidity, the final implementation details of the TISA measure remain to be confirmed by government authorities.
