Economic challenges and opportunities

Thailand's economic growth has been slower than expected, prompting the government to take targeted short-term stimulus measures. The Nation highlights that the growth forecast for 2025 has been raised from the original 2.2% to 2.4%. Additionally, Thailand recorded export growth of an impressive 19% in September 2025.

The country's macroeconomic fundamentals remain strong, with inflation under control and public debt at 64.6% of GDP. Thailand also managed a current account surplus of $14.8 billion, equivalent to about 3.6% of GDP. Foreign exchange reserves amount to USD 273 billion, which is enough to cover eight months of imports. This means the government is well equipped to protect households from financial shocks.

Strategic investments and partnerships

A central point of the event was the invitation to international investors to invest in Thailand. TheBoard of Investment (BOI)has received over 2,600 investment applications worth 1.37 trillion baht (approximately $41.4 billion) to date. The government also plans a dissolution of Parliament in January 2026 and general elections in March 2026, which should further contribute to political stability.

In addition to traditional industries, the government strategy also promotes investment in environmental technologies and digital transformation. Projects in targeted industries are already worth over 470 billion baht ($14.2 billion). In addition, the “BOI Fast Pass” system enabled the acceleration of 74 large-scale capital projects worth over $9.1 billion.

Prime Minister Charnvirakul emphasizes that trust does not arise suddenly, but through credibility, responsibility and resilience in dealing with economic challenges. The government is committed to pursuing transparent and responsible fiscal policies and promoting cooperation between government and the private sector as a key to competitiveness.

This roadshow in Singapore represents an important step in increasing investor confidence in Thailand's economic direction and resilience. The Thai government is committed to laying the foundation for sustainable and inclusive growth and positioning the country as an attractive location for international investment. The outlook remains optimistic, even if the challenges cannot be underestimated.
