FX.co ★ Thailand Private Investment Falls in May

In May 2025, Thailand experienced a 0.6% month-on-month decline in private investment, following a 2.9% increase in April. This drop was largely influenced by reduced investments in machinery and equipment, attributed to a decrease in domestic sales and a downturn in the production of computers and peripherals. Investment in vehicles remained stable; the rise in passenger car registrations counterbalanced the reduction in purchases of trucks and pickups. Additionally, construction investment remained flat as increased non-residential activity compensated for the downturn in residential projects, particularly in single-family homes and townhouses.
