Authorities aim to bolster Thai GDP by pushing ahead with a plan to generate 2.2 trillion baht worth of investment in five targeted industries in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) by 2026. Under a plan that started last year, Thais and foreigners will be encouraged to invest in medical and wellness, digital, electronics, automotive and bio-, circular and green (BCG) industries. The officials were preparing to organise investment promotion roadshow in Italy and Switzerland to encourage investors to join the EEC zone, together with talking with land developers to design industrial areas to facilitate new investment projects to develop transport and logistics facilities to help investors in the EEC area save on operating costs.
