The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in collaboration with the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), hosted the seminar “Transition in Thailand – Building Market Readiness and Regulatory Consultation.” The seminar aimed to enhance understanding of ICMA’s transition finance standards and to present proposed regulatory improvements to support Transition Bonds and Thailand Amber Bonds. It also covered enhancements to sustainability-themed bonds disclosure requirements, for which the SEC is currently seeking public comments*. Approximately 80 participants attended, including bond issuers, underwriters, advisors, independent external reviewers, and representatives from relevant agencies, on 30 April 2026 in Bangkok.

At the opening session, Mr. Paiboon Dumrongwaree, Assistant Secretary-General of the SEC, highlighted the importance of transition finance and the SEC’s ongoing efforts to develop regulatory frameworks to facilitate the issuance and offering of bonds with proceeds specifically allocated to transition‑related projects.
