The International Finance Corporation (IFC) stresses the private sector's essential role in leading post-COVID-19 economic recovery by driving job creation and value addition.
IFC identifies climate change, digitalization, and robust health systems as critical sectors for sustainable global economic recovery, with increased healthcare demand being particularly relevant for Thailand's aging society.
