Thailand’s Ministry of Commerce has reaffirmed its proactive strategy to strengthen the economy and enhance competitiveness amid global economic transitions. While overall growth remained modest last year, exports performed strongly, supported by expanded market access and timely trade management, providing a solid foundation for future momentum.
The government is now focused on transforming investment commitments worth approximately THB1.3 trillion into tangible economic activity, with a target of at least THB480 billion in actual investment this year. To achieve this, authorities are accelerating approvals and streamlining regulatory processes in close cooperation with the private sector.
Looking ahead, Thailand is positioning itself to benefit from a more multipolar global trade environment by reinforcing its role within ASEAN, advancing digital-economy cooperation through the ASEAN Digital Economy Framework Agreement, and leveraging artificial intelligence to upgrade workforce skills and business competitiveness. Key priorities include expanding new markets, modernising free trade agreements, safeguarding fair trade, supporting domestic industries, and promoting sustainable and green economic growth—underscoring Thailand’s ambition to play an active role in shaping regional and global supply chains.
