The Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, together with the Asian Development Bank, the Credit Guarantee and Investment Facility, the International Finance Corporation, the Global Green Growth Institute and the Thai Bond Market Association, or ThaiBMA, held a seminar titled "Financing the Shift: Unlocking Capital for Thailand's Transition to Net Zero" to drive transition finance in Thailand's capital market, with around 120 participants, on 5 October 2026. The SEC stated that in 2026 it issued regulations to support the issuance and offering of transition bonds and yellow-activity bonds under the Thailand Taxonomy standard, in order to broaden fundraising options for projects that support the transition, alongside enhancing disclosure for sustainability bonds. Professor Dr. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, Secretary-General of the SEC, said capital market mechanisms will help businesses access funding for a concrete transition to a low-carbon economy. Dr. Prasarn Trairatvorakul, Chairman of ThaiBMA, also gave opening remarks, and the event featured a panel discussion with experts in greenhouse gas emission reduction and fundraising through sustainability bonds.
