SET chief highlights opportunities to invest in certain sectors

Pakorn said seven categories of businesses still have room to grow significantly, including those that benefit from tourism, government stimulus, business relocation, exports, sustainability trends and transition to a new economy. Businesses that pay dividends constantly are also expected to grow further, he added.

Although the Thai stock market is not attractive, he said SET still has businesses that would grow sustainably, including food, tourism, healthcare and renewable energy.

He said that Thai politics had less impact on the markets compared to the economic situation, saying that measures to stimulate the capital market were gradually launched in the second half of this year, such as Thailand ESG (environment, social and governance) fund, and rules to enhance the capital market along with boosting confidence among investors.
