In the midst of pressing economic crises, health issues, and global events, Thais have been urged to unite and aid the nation’s progress.
Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha stated at the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) Expo 2022, “Shaping Future Industries for a Stronger Thailand,” that the government is committed to working in everyone’s interests while increasing its competitiveness. He then called on the public and private sectors to collaborate in the face of changes and challenges.
Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow, Interior Minister Gen Anupong Paojinda, and Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaiwut Thanakasuson were also present at the event.
Referring to the so-called bio-, circular-, and green (BCG) economic model, Gen. Prayut said technological progress in a variety of fields necessitates Thailand’s innovative developments, which will impact the manufacturing sector.
According to the prime minister, the Thai government has been working with foreign governments in an effort to promote industrial development and strengthen the nation’s industrial base. Priority will also be given to issues concerning the country’s public health system and efforts to alleviate economic hardship among Thai citizens.
Gen Prayut went on to say that Thailand might need to import various types of fuel from abroad, in an effort to combat rising energy, transportation, and prices of consumer goods. He also defended the government’s borrowing, arguing that the loans were essential to stimulate spending and drive economic growth in the kingdom.
