Thai bond market follows global trendListen to this articleThailand's bond market overtook the equities market in 2025, with outstanding value climbing to 17.9 trillion baht, cementing its role as a pillar of financial stability, according to the Thai Bond Market Association (ThaiBMA). Thailand's total financial market tallied 51.8 trillion baht last year, equivalent to 279% of GDP. Thailand's bond market expansion mirrors a broader global trend, said Mr Somjin. Similar structures are seen across Europe and Japan, where bond markets serve as key shock absorbers during periods of economic stress. ThaiBMA sees a continued deepening of the bond market as crucial for Thailand to enhance financial stability, absorb global volatility and support sustainable economic growth.
