**The BOT is expanding auction sizes for short-term bills and THOR-linked floating-
rate bonds in 2026, with a structured schedule to align with liquidity needs and
public debt supply**

The Bank of Thailand (BOT) issues BOT bonds as one of the monetary policy instruments
used to manage money market liquidity, while fostering the development of a liquid
debt securities market in Thailand. The annual BOT bond issuance programme is regularly
communicated to the market at the start of each year to facilitate smooth and efficient
liquidity management among market participants.

For 2026, 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.

For the BOT Bond Issuance Programme for 2026,** the auction sizes** **for 3-month
and 1-year bills are raised **to 35,000 – 75,000 and 25,000 – 65,000 million baht
per auctionrespectively.** Additionally, the maximum auction size for the 6-month
THOR-linked floating-rate bonds is raised **to 40,000 million baht per auction.These
adjustments aim to align with market conditions.
