Thailand’s stock exchange operator will look at various measures to support the market as a deepening political turmoil weighs on investor confidence, reports the Bangkok Post (BP).
“We are looking to enhance liquidity in the market and attract investors back through communication,” Asadej Kongsiri, the president of Stock Exchange of Thailand, said in a Bloomberg TV interview, cited by BP. However, “a short-selling ban is probably not on the table at the moment,” he added.
Foreigners have sold Thai equities on a net basis for nine consecutive months through June, totaling $3.9 billion in that period. The SET Index has tumbled about 20% in 2025.
