Bond redemptions are heavily concentrated in the middle of the year, with second-quarter maturities peaking at 266 billion baht, followed by 245 billion baht in the third quarter. By sector, the financial industry leads with 136 billion baht in maturing bonds, followed by energy at 121 billion baht and property at 98.2 billion. The association still maintains its 2026 corporate bond issuance forecast at 880-900 billion baht, with improvement expected in the second half. Corporate bonds remained stable at around 4.5 trillion baht, while foreign investors recorded net inflows of 19.6 billion baht. Despite the dominance of high- quality bonds, risks remain concentrated in the lower-rated segment, said Mr Somjin.
