Thailand's BOI has tracked actual investment disbursements (not just approvals) from promoted projects, revealing Q2 saw 255 billion baht deployed—a 31% year-on-year jump. H1 cumulative stands at 535.8 billion baht (+27% YoY), split across AI/semiconductors (127 billion, ~50% of Q2), renewable energy (23 billion), agriculture/food processing (22.3 billion), and automotive (18.2 billion). Expected job creation exceeds 630,000 positions. The shift to tracking real spend—not just approved commitments—signals stronger discipline and economic impact monitoring, while BOI aims to accelerate completion via the Thailand FastPass facility.
