Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas revealed at the Thailand Focus 2026: Reignite Thailand event that Thai investment has returned to double-digit growth for two consecutive quarters, with the second quarter of this year expanding by 14%, the highest in over 11 years. This growth is a significant positive signal, as the Thai economy has long relied on exports and domestic consumption, lacking investment for a long time. However, the return of investment will be a key driver to support the economy in the short term and enhance long-term competitiveness. This year's Thailand Focus event focuses on the concept of "Reignite Thailand" to communicate that Thailand is back on the radar of global investors, supported by political and economic stability, as well as fiscal discipline. The public and private sectors must cooperate to drive investment, especially seizing opportunities from production base relocation due to global geopolitical conflicts.
