Thailand’s FDI Outlook: Advantages vs. Disadvantages

April 10, 2024

The mega trends of digitalization and the renewable energy transition are driving record amounts of greenfield investment worldwide. As businesses seek to protect against risk amid this unprecedented growth, many are diversifying their investments and exploring new geographies that are either closer to home or more geopolitically aligned.

Thailand has long been seen as a welcoming and good place to do business. With its strategic location in Southeast Asia, diversified economy backed by key industries, and role as a “friendly shore” for many countries, Thailand may continue to grow as an attractive destination for foreign investment. However, the country needs to continue to diversify within its core strengths as well as identify new sectors or it risks losing to its regional competitors.

Tractus Managing Director John Evans brings more than 25 years of experience advising, executing, and investing in business expansion across Asia. John has supported Tractus in advising on more than USD $10 billion in trade and investment transactions across a wide variety of sectors. This experience has made him a sought-after Asia business expert to multilateral, national and regional economic development organizations from North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia on trade and investment-related issues.

In his latest webinar with Kiatnakin Phatra Securities, John discusses the “Decade of Diversification” and Thailand’s evolution to remain competitive for FDI.

John is joined by Charles Blocker, CEO of IC Partners Limited.
