Deputy PM Suphajee announced a comprehensive industrial restructuring focused on high-value sectors: defense, rail, medical devices, and emerging industries like semiconductors and photonics. Government procurement (Green Procurement) will create initial demand, while new supply chains and legal reforms aim to boost SME productivity and local content standards. The government is also preparing US trade negotiations (late August) on remaining tariffs under Sections 301/232, with 72% of Thai goods already exempted.
