Thailand's investment promotion policy is entering a new phase as the Board of Investment (BoI) intensifies efforts to support the country's transition towards a "smart and sustainable economy", says secretary-general Narit Therdsteerasukdi.

As part of these efforts the BoI is collaborating with the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) to offer investment incentives and capital market mechanisms to companies aiming to mobilise funds through the Thai bourse.

The partnership aims to encourage BoI-promoted multinational companies to float their shares on the SET. Listed firms would be granted support in launching value-added projects, enhancing production efficiency, and achieving sustainable growth, he said.

"The goal is to make Thailand a regional business hub and a gateway for trade and investment in Asia," said Mr Narit. "We are developing a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates tax and non-tax incentives with financial support and post-investment services."

SET president Asadej Kongsiri said the bourse's mission is to serve as a platform for businesses to raise funds for long-term, sustainable growth.
