The Thai stock market showed resilience in December 2025, driven by stock valuations below regional averages, attractive dividend yields, investor demand for Thai ESG funds to capture tax benefits, and renewed net buying by foreign investors. However, sentiment encountered headwinds from multiple concerns, such as parliament dissolution, baht strength pressuring the export and tourism sectors, and Thailand's anticipated economic slowdown in 2026. The SET Index closed December 2025 at 1,259.67 points, up 0.2 percent from the previous month but down 10.0 percent from year-end 2024.
