BANGKOK: Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira (pic) revealed that the Thai government is in talks with major international investment funds to attract more capital into the Thai stock market, particularly as the SET Index lingers at the 1,100–1,200 level, which he said is increasingly appealing to investors.
Speaking during a keynote address at the Daily News Talk 2025 seminar, themed “The Charm of Thai Stocks: Driving the Economy,” Pichai noted that large institutional investors, many of whom have historically allocated significant portfolios to Thailand, have shifted more capital overseas in recent years. However, these funds still maintain investments worth hundreds of billions of baht in Thailand—mainly in government bonds.
