Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas called on business groups to drive investment in seven strategic sectors—agriculture, food processing, automotive, smart electronics, wellness/medicine, retail, tourism, and creative economy—to boost Thailand's GDP growth above 3% annually and achieve high-income status within four years. The government wants quality investment that creates jobs and enables technology transfer, not merely volume, and expects private-public partnerships to increase from 22–23% to 30% of GDP.
