Thursday 18 June 2026 | No. 131 / 2026


Bangkok, 18 June 2026 – Mrs. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, Secretary-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), expressed the view that S&P Global Ratings’ announcement affirming Thailand’s sovereign credit rating with a stable outlook would strengthen investment confidence.

SEC Secretary-General Pornanong said: “Today (18 June 2026), S&P Global Ratings, a credit rating agency, maintained Thailand’s credit outlook at stable (Stable Outlook), reflecting the macroeconomic stability, debt management, and fiscal position of the Thai government compared with neighboring countries in the region. This will benefit the Thai capital market in various dimensions, such as foreign fund flows, as it will help ease concerns among foreign institutional investors regarding the country’s macroeconomic risks, thereby keeping Thai assets attractive and serving as a positive signal for investment sentiment.

The SEC is confident that the Thai capital market is well prepared and has a strong ecosystem to accommodate growth opportunities. The SEC stands ready to support the private sector in using the capital market for fundraising to drive business operations, which will serve as an important mechanism for creating sustainable economic growth and further strengthening the country’s credibility,” the SEC Secretary-General concluded.
