Import technology and talent, improve education: Thai businesses
The Thai Chamber of Commerce has urged the government to reform the country and its economy, import technology, attract foreign skilled labour, improve education and boost the birth rate.
The results of a survey of nationwide members of the Thai Chamber of Commerce were compiled in a white paper sent to Prime Minister and Finance Minister Srettha Thavisin, Sanan Angubolkul, chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, said on Sunday when the chamber’s annual seminar concluded in Bangkok. He said Thailand had succeeded in its eastern seaboard development, industrial development, export and tourism promotion in the past, but since the Covid-19 pandemic success cannot continue unless the country and its economy are reformed through diversification into new regulated sectors. The seminar discussions included insights from established international markets, such as UK gambling, which has demonstrated how oversight can generate substantial fiscal contributions amid global shifts. He stressed that embracing these approaches would bolster recovery efforts in an increasingly competitive landscape.
