Private investment in Thailand rose 2.7% month-on-month in January 2026, easing from a 3.6% increase in the previous month. This marked the softest rise since June 2025, but investment momentum remained broadly positive, with gains recorded across all major categories. Outlays on machinery and equipment continued to expand, supported by higher net imports of capital goods, particularly communication devices and electrical machinery, reflecting ongoing business capacity upgrades. Investment in vehicles also increased, aided by the extension of the EV 3.0 registration deadline through end-January, which encouraged firms to accelerate purchases. Construction activity edged up overall, driven by stronger non-residential building in line with rising permitted construction areas, notably for hotels and commercial properties. However, residential construction weakened, partially offsetting gains in other segments. source: Bank of Thailand
