Private investment in Thailand rose 3.6% month-on-month in December 2025, picking up from a 3.3% increase in November. This marks the strongest growth since October 2024, driven by higher investment across all categories. Investment in machinery and equipment increased, supported by higher domestic sales of machinery, particularly electrical equipment. Vehicle investment also rose, reflecting higher registrations and accelerated electric-vehicle purchases ahead of the EV 3.0 scheme, alongside an increase in aircraft import values. Construction investment remained broadly unchanged, with non-residential construction rising in line with larger permitted construction areas within industrial zones, while residential construction declined due to lower permitted areas for townhouses and shophouses. Overall, the broad-based increase highlights ongoing support for private investment, though trends in residential construction warrant monitoring. source: Bank of Thailand

Thailand Private Investment Hits 13-Month High
Private investment in Thailand climbed by 3.3% month-on-month in November 2025, rebounding from a 1.1% decline in the previous month and ending four consecutive months of contraction.

Investment in vehicles declined, reflecting lower registrations across all types of road vehicles and a reduction in the value of aircraft imports.
