In August 2025, the Fed Chair’s statement at the Jackson Hole seminar signaled clearly
that the Fed might reduce interest rates at the September 2025 meeting after non-
farm payrolls increased by only 73,000 jobs in July, which was below analysts’ forecast
of 106,000 jobs, while inflation slowed down.

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) concluded its fourth meeting of 2025, unanimously
deciding to lower the policy interest rate by 0.25 percentage points, reducing it
from 1.75% to 1.50% per year. This decision reflects the Thai economy’s growth trajectory
for 2025 and 2026, which is aligning closely with projections. However, challenges
persist as U.S. tax measures continue to disrupt production chains and impact competitiveness.
Meanwhile, the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) reported
that Thailand’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 2.8% in Q2 2025, a slowdown
from the 3.2% growth recorded in Q1. This deceleration is largely attributed to 
weaker output outside the agricultural sector, particularly in tourism-related services.
Despite this, the NESDC revised its annual growth forecast upward to 2%, an improvement
from the previous estimate of 1.8%, driven by a surge in exports ahead of the implementation
of U.S. Reciprocal Tariffs.

Listed companies have disclosed their Q2 2025 operating performance, showcasing 
a sustained increase in net profits driven by effective cost management and lower
financing expenses. Moreover, extraordinary gains from mergers, acquisitions, and
strategic investments—particularly in the energy and petrochemical industries—have
contributed to over half of the listed firms surpassing analysts’ expectations for
net profits. This strong performance has fueled a rise in stock prices, further 
supported by declining bond yields. The drop in yields reflects the Bank of Thailand’s
anticipated monetary policy easing in the latter half of the year, which is expected
to benefit select business sectors.

Especially the finance and power generation sectors, due to reduced financing costs,
and a noticeable revival of IPO stock returns in the past month. The Stock Exchange
organized Thailand Focus 2025 to bolster confidence and attract investors back into
the Thai stock market more effectively.

At the end of August 2025, the SET Index closed at 1,236.61 points, down 0.5% from
the end of the previous month, slightly declining after a significant increase in
the prior month. From the beginning of the year to the end of August 2025, the SET
Index decreased by 11.7% compared to the end of the previous year, which was a more
considerable decline than most regional stock markets. The sectors that performed
better than the SET Index compared to the end of 2024 include technology, finance,
resources, and industrial products.

In August 2025, the average daily trading value of SET and mai was 50,672 million
baht, an increase of 10.1% compared to the same period last year. However, in the
first eight months of 2025, the average daily trading value was 43,011 million baht,
a decrease of 3.1% from the same period last year. Foreign investors still accounted
for the highest share of trading value at 51.47% of the total trading value but 
had a net selling position of 21,816 million baht, marking a return to net selling
after previously being net buyers last month.

In August 2025, one company listed for trading on mai: Mukhda International Hospital
Public Company Limited (HANN).
