New economic zones being considered

Quick Summary:

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is expected to consider a plan to set up new economic zones in the North and Northeast to lift regional economies far from the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), which has been heavily promoted.

According to the study, prospective investors are interested in agribusiness, logistics, healthcare and wellness, digital technology and tourism in the Northeast.

If the government approves these zones in the Northeast, they could attract investment worth 10 billion baht and create jobs for locals, he said.
