Summary · why it matters

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has assigned policy to review the Land Bridge project approach while accelerating the filling of gaps in the transport network that remain unconnected. A spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office stated that countries which connect their networks for immediate use will capture trade and investment amid risks from Middle East conflicts. The heart of the strategy is to complete the North-South Economic Corridor, linking China, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, especially the Chiang Khong–Nateuy–Mohan railway project. Meanwhile, the CEO of CIVIL assessed that the second half of 2026 will be brighter than the first half, with nine projects worth over 4.1 billion baht ready for delivery and a backlog as high as 14.6 billion baht, supporting revenue recognition through 2029, while proceeding to bid for new work worth approximately 4 billion baht. On the banking front, KTB reported second-quarter 2026 net profit growth of 9 percent to 12.125 billion baht, with first-half profit rising to 24.562 billion baht, but the president noted the economy remains K-shaped, with many people still stuck on the side of weak purchasing power and high living costs. As for SCGD, it is moving to upgrade products from sanitary ware to smart sanitary ware through its subsidiary SSW, signing a joint venture with Axent Switzerland AG at a ratio of 51 to 49, establishing a joint venture company with registered capital of 80 million baht, targeting commercial production by April 2027. Meanwhile, OR is cutting unnecessary limbs, with the board approving the dissolution of two indirect subsidiaries in Laos and Vietnam, held through PTTOR International Holdings Singapore, expected to complete deregistration within 2027.
