The World Bank's East Asia & Pacific VP Carlos Felipe Jaramillo, speaking at Bangkok Business Summit 2026, urged Thailand to position "The Thailand Offer" at the upcoming IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok (first held here in 35 years). Key reforms needed: (1) boost productivity in legacy industries and enable new ventures beyond Bangkok's concentration; (2) move Thailand from AI consumer to AI innovator—currently only 12% of SMEs adopt AI; (3) accelerate energy security via renewable transition. Private sector must actively push government and other stakeholders to ensure Thailand reaches high-income status by 2037.
