Prime Minister Anutin outlined plans to reduce energy import dependence through renewable energy transition, smart grid investment, and initiatives like JUMP+ and BOI to IPO to bring new economy businesses to the Thai capital market.
At the London meetings, British institutional investors prioritized political stability and new investment cycle momentum, reflected in record-high BOI investment promotion applications. Thailand emphasized investment quality over quantity, with investors stressing the importance of policy continuity and concrete implementation.
Felix Pulalin, chairman of the Thai Capital Market Business Federation, noted that foreign capital has flowed back into the Thai stock market at approximately 1,500 million US dollars since early 2025, representing 10% of the 15,000 million US dollars that exited over the past three years. He highlighted senior fund managers' personal attendance in New York as a significant signal of interest in the Thai capital market. Investor questions covered policy clarity, implementation challenges, and financial stability and baht stability, which the Prime Minister and delegation addressed.
In New York, the Stock Exchange collaborated with Bank of America to invite institutional investors, holding group meetings with 22 leading funds including BlackRock, Blackstone, Citadel, Fidelity, and Schroders, with combined AUM of approximately 45 trillion US dollars.
