For 2024, the bond issuance programme considers the projected liquidity condition
in the market, the expected demand for public debt securities and the overall public
sector bond supply. To this end, the BOT and the Public Debt Management Office (
PDMO) have been collaborating closely on bond issuance, in order to maintain an 
appropriate level of overall public sector bond supply throughout the year.

Moreover, the BOT will continue to promote the development of THOR, Thai Overnight
Repurchase Rate, as a reference rate by regularly issuing the floating-rate bonds(
FRB) linked to THOR.
