Ratchada announced that the “AomPlus” government bonds will be available for subscription again from 3 to 5 August after the first batch sold out within 21 seconds, emphasizing the government’s support for safe savings for retail investors, SME access to capital, and curbing illicit funds.
On 2 August 2026, Ms. Ratchada Thanadirek, spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, said the “AomPlus” government bonds attracted strong public interest, selling out the full allocation in just 21 seconds. This reflects the demand for stable, secure savings options accessible to retail investors, especially amid ongoing global economic volatility.
. “The success of the AomPlus bonds is not only about how quickly they sold out but also shows that when the government designs accessible financial tools, people are ready to participate in saving and investing to build their own security.” Ms. Ratchada said.
The spokesperson added that Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has a clear policy directing all government agencies to expand economic opportunities for retail citizens, ensuring capital flows broadly to the people and real economy, rather than concentrating only among those with greater funds or preparedness.
The AomPlus bonds were designed to allow people to invest with a low minimum amount, using a “Small Lot First” allocation method that prioritizes small investors. This gives many people a fair chance to access government-backed stable assets.
For those who have yet to invest, the next subscription period for AomPlus bonds will be from 3 to 5 August 2026, with a minimum purchase of 1,000 baht. Retail investors will be given priority through the Bond Connect platform.
Ms. Ratchada said that creating financial opportunities for the public goes beyond promoting savings; it also includes helping small entrepreneurs and SMEs gain greater access to loans and capital.
Data from the Bank of Thailand indicates that a key problem in the Thai economy is not just insufficient capital but ensuring funds reach capable businesses, especially small entrepreneurs with financial discipline who face collateral limitations or lack sufficient financial system data.
The government is therefore promoting the use of big data and alternative information to assess entrepreneurs’ capabilities, enabling financial institutions to better evaluate business potential beyond collateral alone. This will increase SMEs’ access to credit, allowing them to sustain operations, expand businesses, and maintain employment.
This initiative is overseen and driven by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Anek Laothamatas, in collaboration with the Bank of Thailand, financial institutions, and relevant agencies.
At the same time, the government is intensifying efforts to close loopholes exploited by illicit funds, mule accounts, online gambling, suspicious transactions, and underground money that distort competition. Such illegal money harms the public, squeezes out honest businesses, undermines trust, and makes it harder for law-abiding companies to compete.
Regarding investment, the government is working to establish policy stability and clarity to attract quality investments, especially in future industries such as electric vehicles, data centers, digital economy, and clean energy. This will bring technology transfer, workforce skill development, and creation of higher-income jobs.
“Prime Minister Anutin’s government is taking a comprehensive approach—from providing safe saving channels for citizens, helping SMEs access capital, attracting quality investment into the country, to addressing illegal money that harms competition. The goal is to ensure that money flows into the real economy, generating investment, jobs, income, and giving retail people fair economic opportunities,” Ms. Ratchada said.
