Four major listed companies stated that Thailand is benefiting from trade wars and global geopolitical issues, leading to continuous investment inflows and supporting the country's emergence as a regional economic hub. Mr. Thammasak Sethaudom, President of Siam Cement Public Company Limited (SCC), said that investment is not only concentrated in data center businesses but also includes biotechnology, carbon reduction technology, and green circular economy. The Thai government is driving new economic engines through four special subcommittees to improve laws, reduce restrictions, expand free trade frameworks, and develop human capital skills, with the expectation of making Thailand an economic hub within 5-10 years. Meanwhile, Mr. Aloke Lohia, Group CEO of Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL), stated that the world is placing more importance on supply chain resilience, and Thailand has a strong trade and manufacturing ecosystem, as well as the potential to become a capital market hub for the CLMV countries, which have a combined population of over 250 million. Ms. Paweena Jariyathitipong, Director of Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT), said that Thai airports have adapted well to crises, such as increasing passengers from China and Japan by over 30%, and flights from the Middle East have now returned to 100% service. Dr. Kobsak Pootrakool, Executive Vice President of Bangkok Bank Public Company Limited (BBL), stated that foreign investment promotion applications have surged to record levels, and Thailand has become the world's fifth-largest producer of printed circuit boards (PCBs). He also recommended that Thai businesses accelerate investment in technology upgrades and scale expansion to remain competitive.
