confidence in Thailand

Malaysian and Singaporean investors expressed more confidence to invest in Thailand after the situation in the country improved, according to Prime Minister’s Office Minister ML Panadda Diskul.

A group of Malaysian and Singaporean investors from CIMB last week met with the Minister and representatives of the Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI) at Government House to discuss Thailand’s economic and social issues.

Their trip was inspired by foreign investors’ increasing confidence in Thailand in terms of industry, transport and tourism, said the minister.

The investors asked for information about the BOI’s investment incentives and results of the studies on the government’s administration, politics, national reconciliation as well as corruption problems.

ML Panadda added that the investors said they were interested in special economic zones in Tak and Samui. The BOI representatives explained the government’s investment policy to them, stressing that investment in the special economic zones must support tourism in the areas, said the minister.
