Thailand's Individual Savings Account (TISA) program has been delayed and will not launch by end of 2026 as originally hoped, now targeting January 2027 onwards. The Finance Ministry commits to releasing clear guidelines within 2026 to allow securities firms time to build supporting systems for individual stock investment tracking and tax-advantaged accounts. FETCO emphasizes TISA's role as a domestic savings tool to support the government's target of raising investment to 30% of GDP, with current savings at ~25% of GDP. Market analysts view the timeline clarification positively for long-term capital inflow, though final impact depends on tax incentive limits and eligible asset types—each 100 billion baht inflow could boost the Thai stock index by 25–30 points.
