Anutin woos global investors with ‘depth’, location

Thailand is well suited for global investments with strengths and a strategic geographical location to benefit businesses, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on Thursday.

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul visited a global investment forum to showcase Thailand as a prime location for foreign businesses. He emphasized the country's "depth" in industries such as automotive, electronics, food, healthcare and tourism, making it an attractive prospect for international investors. Anutin highlighted the experienced workforce, suppliers, logistics and digital networks, as well as financial services, which contribute to Thailand's key asset.

Thailand's strategic geographical location in the heart of Southeast Asia provides access to regional markets, benefiting businesses amid global tensions. The Prime Minister sees the global economy undergoing changes in four areas: geopolitics, technology, climate and demographics. Despite its ageing population, Thailand can turn this into an opportunity by building a "longevity economy" that emphasizes health, skills, economic activity and connectivity.

To attract and secure investments long-term, the government plans to revise over 7,000 regulations and upgrade standards through OECD membership to gain international confidence. Anutin underscored that Thailand aims to be more than just a production base or sales market, but a partner in shaping future industries.
