Stocks traded, turnover ratio of domestic shares CM.MKT.TRNR

Overview
Thailand's stock turnover ratio stood at 49.85% in 2025, a decline of +8.24pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 49.85% by 2025. Thailand ranked 11th globally.
Thailand’s stock turnover ratio has fallen from its all‑time peak of 124.73% in 1992 to a trough of 6.90% in 1996, reflecting the volatility of its equity markets during the early 1990s and the Asian financial crisis. Over the 37‑year series, the ratio has gradually declined, reaching 49.85% in 2025, which places Thailand 11th globally and just above India’s 49.20% while lagging behind Canada’s 63.63% and the United States’ 65.85%. The early‑1990s surge was driven by rapid market liberalisation and strong capital inflows, whereas the mid‑1990s collapse coincided with sharp devaluations and reduced investor confidence. Recent stability in the ratio suggests a maturing market, yet the gap with higher‑turnover peers indicates room for improvement. Continued reforms that enhance market depth and liquidity could raise the turnover rate and narrow the disparity with leading economies.
