Foreign holdings of Thai stocks peakForeign investor holdings in Thai stocks reached a new record high of 6.11 trillion baht in January, representing 37.1% of the total market capitalisation and reflecting growing overseas interest in the equities market, says the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). Holdings increased again to 5.83 trillion baht (33.8%) in 2024, followed by 5.61 trillion baht (35.7%) last year, then hit a new peak of 6.11 trillion in the first month of 2026. Foreign investors were net sellers of Thai equities worth 107 billion baht last year, which analysts attributed to short-term profit-taking. According to the SET, several factors contributed to the steady rise in foreign holdings, led by improved political stability following Thailand's elections. "The increasing shareholdings of foreign investors in the Thai stock market suggest overseas investors remain actively engaged and interested in investing in Thai equities," said the bourse.
