Thailand’s Aom Plus debut succeeds with 22,703 retail investors
Bond Connect subscriptions totalled THB16.511654 billion, about eight times its offering, with up to THB117,000 allocated per investor before randomisation.
- The debut of Thailand's Aom Plus government bonds was considered a success, with 22,703 retail investors receiving allocations.
- Demand for the bonds was very high, with the Bond Connect channel being oversubscribed by approximately eight times the amount offered.
- The program is designed to give the public broader access to low-risk government bonds with attractive returns and liquidity on a secondary market.
- Due to the successful launch, the Ministry of Finance plans to offer more Aom Plus bonds in the following month and continue with monthly sales.
Minister of Finance Ekniti Nitithanprapas said the subscription process for the Aom Plus government bonds had been successful and well received, with allocations made to 22,703 members of the public and retail investors nationwide.
He described Aom Plus as a successful government effort to introduce a new dimension to investment and expand savings and investment choices in a way not previously available.
It enabled members of the public and Thai investors to gain broad access, through several channels, to low-risk assets such as government bonds with attractive returns.
The bonds also offered liquidity because they could be bought, sold and transferred on the secondary market, supporting fairness for both buyers and sellers.

- A total of 22,703 investors nationwide received allocations: 1,590 through the SBM Wallet and 21,113 through Bond Connect.

Every baht invested by the public in Aom Plus government bonds will contribute to joint efforts by the public and the government to create economic opportunities and a better future for Thailand.
Investors will also receive ‘Plus’ benefits beyond conventional savings.
These include easier and broader access to investment, or financial inclusion; attractive returns in the form of interest; a secondary market where transparent prices reflect market mechanisms; and several investment channels through the SBM Wallet, commercial banks, securities firms and the Streaming application, making investment more convenient.
Investors who missed this round can prepare for another sale next month.
The Ministry of Finance will again offer the bonds through the same two channels:
- Through the SBM Wallet from September 4 to 15.
- Through the Bond Connect Platform from September 7 to 9.
The ministry plans to continue monthly sales throughout fiscal year 2027, from October 2026 to September 2027.
The offering amount and interest rates for the September round will be announced officially at a later date.
