Creating quality research work for capital
market development
In 2014, The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET)’s
Capital Market Research Institute focused on developing
and supporting the capital market research studies,
which will increase competitiveness at the global level
among all stakeholders and reduce some major
obstacles in the Thai capital market system. These include
the research studies for the benefits of market makers
and a broader scope of the Thai capital market
development in a sustainable manner. Samples of research
studies topics in 2014 are: “Foreign Holding Structure
and its Behaviour in Thai Stock Market”, “International
Expansion among Thai Listed Companies”, and
“A Survey on Retirement Saving of Thai Employed
Persons Aged 25-39”.
SET also cooperated with the Association of Thai
Listed Companies conducted the “CEO Survey:
Economic Outlook” every six months to learn from
listed company’s CEOs on current economic situation,
as well as views on export, investment and fund-raising
trends. Other current issues were also included to
benefit the business sector’s strategic planning and
the government’s policy-making.
Organizing research presentation and
knowledge-sharing session for capital market
development

the Thai capital market, policy makers of both financial and
