Foreign investment and capital markets are accelerating efforts to transition Thailand into the New Economy, driven by the Third Wave of innovation in AI, semiconductors, and data centres. BlackRock highlighted AI infrastructure as a major force poised to reshape the global economy. Meanwhile, Hua Seng Heng projected that gold prices will remain on an upward trajectory in 2026, with potential to reach USD 4,700. SCB Fund Management (SCBFM) forecasted Thai baht volatility within a range of THB 31–33 per USD. The forum concluded with insights on family office strategy and the importance of establishing a family constitution to ensure long-term wealth preservation. Experts emphasised the need for neutral mediation mechanisms to protect family wealth from internal disruptions and promote sustainable legacy planning.
