Thailand Private Investment Rebounds
Private investment in Thailand narrowly recovered 0.2% month-on-month in December 2024, following a 1.8% decrease in the previous period. This was attributed to increased investment in machinery and equipment due to higher domestic machinery sales of general-purpose machinery and a rise in capital goods imports. Similarly, investment in vehicles also improved with higher registrations of commercial vehicles, mainly trucks and taxis. However, construction investment fell due to limited permitted construction areas.

Thailand Private Investment Declines
Private investment in Thailand dropped 1.8% month-on-month in November 2024, following a 4.5% increase in the previous period. This decline was attributed to a decrease in investment for machinery and equipment, due to lower commercial vehicle registrations, particularly pickups and tractors, along with a drop in capital goods imports after a significant rise in the prior month. Similarly, construction investment fell due to lower sales of construction materials and a reduction in permitted construction areas, especially for residential and industrial projects.
