FX.co ★ Thailand Private Investment Falls at Softer Pace

In August 2025, private investment in Thailand experienced a slight decrease of 0.2% compared to the previous month, showing an improvement from July’s 0.4% decline. This moderated reduction was largely due to an uptick in construction investment, especially in factories and commercial buildings, with residential construction holding steady. On the other hand, investment in machinery and equipment saw a downturn, impacted by weaker sales of domestic machinery. However, there was an increase in net imports of capital goods, notably in sectors such as computers, office equipment, and electrical devices. Vehicle investment remained stable, with substantial imports of aircraft for private airline expansion balancing out a decrease in car registrations.
