Infrastructure development ‘priority’

The government must rapidly develop the country’s infrastructure to encourage more private investment, National Strategic Committee for Reconstruction and Future Development chairman Virabongsa Ramangkura said on Tuesday.

In his speech on “Global Trade Change: How can Thailand step forward” at a seminar to mark the 92nd aniversary of the Ministry of Commerce, Mr Virabongsa said both the Ministry of Commerce and the Bank of Thailand are duty-bound to support Thais making investments overseas.

When compared to the world, Thailand is only a tiny economy that has to rely on global international trade to mobilise its economic expansion, he said.
