Thailand’s private investment showed a marked recovery in August 2026, rising 2.2% month-over-month after contracting by 0.3% in July, according to data updated on 30 September 2026.
The turnaround highlights a shift in momentum following July’s decline, when private investment had slipped compared with the previous month. The August figure indicates that investment activity not only stabilized but moved firmly back into positive territory on a month-over-month basis.
The data are based on a month-over-month comparison, with the current reading measuring the change in August relative to July 2026, while the previous figure reflects the change in July versus June. This improvement in August suggests renewed confidence among private investors after a brief soft patch in mid-year activity.
