Thailand launches Reinvent Thailand initiative to boost economic growth

Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ekniti Nitithanprapas, has introduced the “Reinvent Thailand” plan in collaboration with the private sector. The initiative aims to drive economic growth above 3% and increase the investment-to-GDP ratio to 30% by 2030. The plan also seeks to elevate Thailand’s global competitiveness into the top 20 rankings.

The strategy focuses on seven key industries: modern agriculture and food processing, modern automotive, smart electronics, tourism, healthcare and wellness, retail and commerce, and the creative economy. These sectors are projected to generate a combined additional revenue of 5.4 trillion baht by 2030.

To ensure tangible results, the private sector has been tasked with proposing “Quick Win” measures for each industry. These proposals will be reviewed by the Joint Public and Private Sector Consultative Committee (JPPSCC) before being presented to the Prime Minister on December 2.
