BANGKOK, Thailand – Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul has delivered a keynote address at the “SET Government Roadshow 2025” in Singapore under the theme “Confidence in Thailand’s Path Forward.”
The event, held at the InterContinental Singapore, aimed to present Thailand’s economic potential and signal the government’s readiness to drive economic, fiscal, and capital-market policies as core engines of national growth. The Prime Minister noted that the roadshow reflects the government’s intention to strengthen global investor confidence and highlight Thailand’s position as a stable and opportunity-rich economy.
According to Government Spokesperson Siripong Angkasakulkiat, the Prime Minister recalled his experience working in the private sector at the InterContinental over three decades ago, highlighting the enduring shared vision between Thailand and Singapore in advancing the green economy, food security, and digitalization. He emphasized that Thailand continues to be a “land of opportunity” with stable political conditions and a defined long-term economic direction, reaffirming the government’s determination to build investor confidence and move the country forward.
The Prime Minister also referred to discussions held earlier in the day with the Prime Minister of Singapore, during which both leaders reaffirmed their strategic partnership. The two countries agreed to deepen cooperation in resilient supply chains, digital connectivity, and collaborative investment in environmental and health-related innovation. He expressed appreciation for the strong investor participation at the event, calling it a reflection of sustained interest and belief in Thailand’s economic strengths.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister highlighted growing political stability supported by democratic governance and transparent leadership. He confirmed the political roadmap moving forward: the dissolution of the House of Representatives by January 2026, a general election in March 2026, and a national referendum to ensure that constitutional reform aligns with the will of the people. He affirmed that throughout this transition, the government will maintain policy continuity to ensure investor confidence and steady national progress.
On the economic front, the Prime Minister acknowledged that recent growth has been slower than expected, but stressed that the government is addressing this through targeted short-term stimulus measures under the “Quick Big Win” strategy, alongside long-term reforms to strengthen competitiveness. Thailand’s macroeconomic fundamentals remain solid, with low inflation, manageable public debt at 64.6% of GDP, a current-account surplus of USD 14.8 billion, and high foreign-exchange reserves of USD 273 billion.
The Prime Minister reaffirmed that fiscal responsibility remains central to the government’s strategy. He stated that public spending will be implemented carefully and efficiently — not for political advantage, but to deliver real, measurable outcomes. He emphasized that transparency and accountability are essential to building investor confidence and that the government will continue to communicate policy directions clearly so that all sectors can plan with certainty.
