webfact Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 EEC firms urge Prayut to boost public-private collaboration By The Nation PM Prayut Chan-o-cha (Photo credit: Government House) Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha received proposals from companies in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) to draw more investment to the zone on Thursday. The suggestions were made during the premier's visit to survey progress of EEC projects and listen to private-sector ideas for its further development. WHA Corporation chief executive officer Jareeporn Jarukornsakul said the formation of a joint private sector-government team to woo foreign investment via roadshows overseas was among the proposals. The team should include Board of Investment and EEC executives, she added. Businesses also urged closer cooperation between government and the private sector to develop the zone. Government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri said that the combined value of projects applying to invest in the EEC over the past eight months was Bt85 billion.

yellowboat Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 With a substantive offering, you can always find customers. Why would anyone invest in the EEC over going to Malaysia or Vietnam? Other than it is a pet project of the Thai military, what is value is it to a foreign company? All they talk about is money, money and more money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
