Significant infrastructure projects, including the high-speed railway and Laemchabang port expansion, face considerable delays, and investment largely favors existing industries over the targeted new S-Curve sectors.
The incoming government is urged to accelerate delayed infrastructure projects, transparently review existing contracts, adapt targeted industries to changing environments, and address increasing pollution concerns to secure foreign investment.
