The Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released its Strategic Plan for 2025–2027, setting out priorities to strengthen trust and confidence in the Thai capital market while supporting value creation and competitiveness for listed companies, widening access across business sectors, and supporting the shift toward a green and digital economy. The plan is structured around five intended outcomes: market confidence, digital technology, a sustainable capital market, long-term investment and investor financial well-being, and SEC operational excellence. Supporting measures highlighted alongside the plan include a stronger enforcement focus, with calls for timely penalties, upgraded disclosure standards, and closer oversight of market professionals. The SEC also flagged work to improve its investigative capabilities, including an expedited legislative process to enhance investigative authority in high-impact cases, and cited faster case processing over the past year compared with 2023. Forthcoming share pledging regulations were referenced as an example of standardized rules aimed at improving monitoring and risk prevention. On digital assets, the plan emphasises using technology to support innovation while strengthening investor protection and promoting higher-quality digital asset operators, alongside continued development of digital market infrastructure, sustainability and carbon-neutrality initiatives, and internal capability-building through greater use of technology, data and workforce upskilling.
