19. The market capitalization of the SET grew from THB 13 billion in 2014 to 17 billion in
2018. Growth was partly driven by low interest rates in the banking sector as investors shifted
savings to the stock market as well as the world growth and the country’s economic recovery. The
three top performing sectors have been industrials, service business, and resources.
20. There are about 40 licensed financial intermediaries in Thailand (Table 3). The SEC issues
specific licenses for each function performed and most firms are licensed in all functional business.
