Thailand Launches 'Aom Plus' Government Bonds via Stock Accounts
The Stock Exchange of Thailand has introduced the 'Aom Plus' government bond scheme, allowing investors to purchase bonds through securities accounts for the first time.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has officially opened subscriptions for the 'Aom Plus' government bond series. This initiative marks the first time government bonds are being offered through securities accounts via the Bond Connect system. The total offering is capped at 2 billion baht, with a minimum investment requirement of 1,000 baht and no maximum limit.
Investors can choose between two maturity options: a 3-year bond with a 1.8% fixed annual interest rate or a 10-year bond with a 2.8% fixed annual interest rate. Both options provide interest payments every three months. To ensure equitable distribution, the authorities are utilizing a 'Small Lot First' allocation method.
For residents, this development provides a new, accessible avenue for domestic financial planning through existing brokerage channels. Subscriptions are open from 8:30 AM on August 3, 2026, until 3:00 PM on August 5, 2026, through 24 participating financial institutions, including six commercial banks and 18 securities firms, as well as the Streaming application. Allocation results are scheduled for August 6, 2026. While the subscription window is clearly defined, potential investors should verify their specific brokerage's readiness and consult the official SET website for further details on participating agents and technical requirements.
