This slower growth reflects continued constraints from high household and business debt, as well as a slowdown in the export sector. Exports are expected to be affected by retaliatory import tariffs from the U.S. and major trading partners, along with indirect impacts from the broader slowdown in the global economy and trade2.Furthermore, the Ministry of Transport plans to announce the THB 20 flat fare policy for the entire train network by September 2025. This policy will apply to eight train routes (Green, Gold, Yellow, Pink, Blue, Airport Rail Link, Purple and Red lines). It is expected to increase passenger numbers across all train systems, especially on the Green Line, which is the main route where the Company operates Turtle shops.

In addition, the Company plans to expand leasable space at 4 stations on the MRT Pink Line, including Lak Si, Min Buri Market, Impact Muang Thong Thani and Lake Muang Thong Thani.
