Srettha Thavisin held talks with company executives in New York this week.
BANGKOK: Thailand’s prime minister Srettha Thavisin said today the country expected to receive investment of at least US$5 billion from Tesla, Google and Microsoft.
“Tesla would be looking into an EV manufacturing facility, Microsoft and Google are looking at data centres,” he said, without detailing whether the US$5 billion was expected to be a combined investment or made individually by each company.Srettha was speaking to reporters in Bangkok after attending the UN General Assembly in New York where he also held talks with company executives earlier this week.
Fresh foreign investment would boost Thailand’s flagging economy, which is expected to grow by 2.8% this year, less than previously projected, due to weaker exports.Thailand, Asia’s fourth largest automobile assembly hub, has been offering incentives to EV and battery makers, and tax cuts to local EV buyers, to remain a regional auto centre.
