Capital markets play a vital role at the heart of the world’s most advanced economies. In Thailand, the capital markets are established at the core of the financial system, helping thousands of people and organisations achieve their ambitions and plans for the future. Over the coming years, the role of markets will become even more critical, as the country pursues ever-higher levels of development, expands its infrastructure and continues to grow its influence in the region and around the globe.

Thai capital markets are among Asia's deepest and most liquid, with relatively strong bond and equity penetration, alongside growing offerings in alternative asset classes. Against this background, the coming period offers the chance for a new era of opportunity. To embrace transformative change, this paper gathers a range of ideas - set out as ten key building blocks, which aim to support the markets’ growth, the ten building blocks create a blueprint for the continued development of Thai capital markets as a key enabler of economic growth. Through investment, education, and innovation, Thai capital markets can become a global leader in efficiency and inclusiveness to drive Thailands' prosperity. This has the potential to provide all market participants with the finance, support, and inspiration they need to plan for their future. The markets can help Thailand address demographic challenges - all while expanding financial inclusion, nurturing economic ecosystems, and establishing the conditions that will create growth and prosperity in the years ahead
