The Ministry of Finance and the Stock Exchange of Thailand have announced a strategic direction for supply chain development and digital infrastructure to enhance the competitiveness of Thai businesses and capital markets amid global geopolitical volatility. Large listed companies will serve as the backbone to support small and medium-sized enterprises in meeting European Union environmental standards and capitalizing on investment trends in future industries. Dr. Ekaniti Nitithanprapas, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, revealed that investment promotion applications through the BOI reached 1 trillion baht last year, and in the first quarter of this year, applications again touched the 1 trillion baht level. As a result, the Thai economy recovered to 2.4 to 2.5 percent in the fourth quarter, while private investment in the first quarter expanded at a double-digit rate for two consecutive quarters, shifting the economic structure toward investment-led growth. Mr. Asadej Kongsiri, Director and Manager of the Stock Exchange of Thailand, stated that from the beginning of this year to the present, foreign investors have net purchased more than 60 billion baht in the Thai stock market. The SET is also in the process of streamlining the initial public offering process to be faster, with clarity on the BOI 2.0 criteria expected within the third or fourth quarter of this year.
