Foreign investors were net buyers of 7 billion baht in Bangkok Bank on April 11, while purchases totalling 5 billion in Berli Jucker Plc recently added to signs that fund inflows will continue, he said. "It was a signal foreign investors are looking at Thailand again after they cashed out in March," Mr Sompong said. Foreign investors poured 1.33 billion baht into Thai equities this month, raising their net buy to 7.6 billion this year. "Tisco expects banks will be the target of foreign investors' buying spree in this round on anticipation of 12% earnings growth in the first quarter," he said. Construction and building materials, as well as tourism, are other sectors to benefit from fund inflows, Mr Viwat said.
