Thailand's BOI reported Q2 2026 real investment disbursements hit 255 billion baht (+31% YoY), reaching 535.8 billion in the first half (+27% YoY). AI-related tech led spending at ~127 billion baht, followed by clean energy and automotive sectors. Projects are expected to create 630,000 jobs and represent concrete follow-through on government policy. However, this is backward-looking measurement (post-approval implementation) rather than forward indicators, and large figures may reflect both SME activity and major projects.
