Chairman says Thailand still offers investors a relatively ‘safe haven’ and can do moreThe Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has outlined strategies to strengthen Thailand’s capital market resilience amid rising global uncertainties stemming from war, energy price volatility, supply chain disruptions and rapid technological change. Despite the highly uncertain investment landscape, Thailand still holds strong potential due to its economic stability and diversified industrial structure, SET chairman Kitipong Urapeepatanapong said at a seminar on Thursday. From an investment perspective, the Thai equity market remains attractive as a value play. The exchange is also developing a green capital market ecosystem, including carbon credit trading and environmentally linked derivatives, aimed at attracting global ESG-focused investors. The SET is increasingly using AI-driven surveillance systems to detect suspicious trading patterns such as insider trading and market manipulation.
