Thailand’s private investment growth slowed in January 2026, with the indicator easing to 2.7% month-over-month, down from 3.6% in December 2025. The latest data, updated on 27 February 2026, point to a moderation in investment momentum at the start of the year.
The December reading of 3.6% had marked a stronger month-over-month expansion compared with November, but January’s 2.7% result suggests that the pace of private sector capital spending has cooled somewhat. The month-over-month comparison reflects how investment activity in January 2026 stacked up directly against December 2025, while December’s figure showed the change relative to November.
Although growth remains positive, the deceleration may be watched closely by policymakers and investors looking for signs of the strength and sustainability of Thailand’s domestic investment cycle going into 2026.
