00:00 [the government] has been delayed for nearly three months.

00:07 It's been a long time.

00:08 But the government hasn't been re-elected yet.

00:10 But recently, the BOI has said

00:15 that even though the government was delayed,

00:18 it didn't affect the investments of foreigners in Thailand.

00:24 Because they see that the investors are more concerned about the economy.

00:28 The BOI's secretary, Mr. Narit Thertsathiarasak,

00:34 attended the The Nation seminar yesterday

00:37 and talked about the delay in the government's next steps.

00:41 He said that it shouldn't affect the confidence of foreign investors

00:46 because the investors who are moving or expanding their production

00:50 are long-term investors who have plans to build factories in Thailand

00:54 and who are concerned about the economy.

00:59 They are concerned about the infrastructure and the people.

01:03 The investors are concerned about many things.

01:08 As I said, the politics is important,

01:10 but they are more concerned about the economy.

01:13 But is politics and economy related?

01:15 It's a link, Mr. Ice.

01:17 That's right.

01:18 There may be some consequences.

01:19 We'll have to wait and see if the government is finalized in August.

01:26 We'll see if we have expectations.

01:28 What I want the new government to focus on

01:32 is to improve the competitiveness of Thailand.

01:34 There are developments in the skills and skills of Thai workers.

01:38 If there are not enough workers,

01:40 there will be a wide opening for foreign talent.

01:44 It will also make it easier to invest in the law.

01:48 There will be obstacles, but we will fix them.

01:51 In addition, we will develop the infrastructure,

01:55 especially in the field of EEC.

01:58 Investment is a long-term plan.

02:02 Most investors are concerned about the economy.

02:07 Thailand has a strong point in this regard.

02:10 It's about infrastructure, supply chain,

02:14 and ready-to-use equipment.

02:17 It can be used to invest in the target industry.

02:21 As for the political, it's a short-term plan.

02:24 It doesn't affect the business.

02:27 So these investors still have confidence in Thailand's potential.

02:32 They are still moving forward with the investment plan.
