The Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission has published its three-year strategic plan for 2026–2028, setting out five objectives intended to strengthen capital market competitiveness and confidence, accelerate digital and technology-led market development, and reinforce the market’s role in sustainability and public financial well being. Priorities include improving fundraising competitiveness and the attractiveness of listed companies, promoting transparent and internationally aligned securities trading, and enhancing corporate governance through stronger roles for internal auditors and financial advisors and better listed company disclosures. The plan also targets more technology-enabled supervision and enforcement, stronger cyber resilience for capital market and digital asset operators, development of a digital capital market ecosystem to support tokenization and digital assets as an investment asset class, and work on regulatory frameworks for crypto exchange-traded funds, including exploring issuance of crypto ETFs in trust form. On sustainability, the SEC points to ESG positioning, sustainability disclosures and sustainable investing aligned with International Sustainability Standards Board standards, green and transition finance products, and carbon credit trading in the capital market; additional measures cover personal investment accounts, improved provident fund efficiency, higher service standards, and a “preventive anti-scam for all” approach, alongside organisational transformation through SupTech and use of artificial intelligence.
