In January 2024, the Stock Exchange of Thailand reported that there was a decrease
in investments in the Thai stock market due to lower-than-expected economic expansion
in the 4th quarter of 2023.

This led to reduced profit forecasts for listed companies in 2023. Foreign capital
inflows have only occurred in years with raised profit estimates. Despite the outflow
of foreign capital, the value of foreign stock holdings relative to market capitalization
remains close to historical averages. The Price to Book (P/B) ratio of the SET Index
is still low, while SET’s dividend yield increased to 3.24%.
