The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Office has maintained its target of investment in the EEC zone over the next three years at Bt100 billion, despite the gloomy global economic outlook.

 

Meanwhile the number of investors granted EEC promotion certificates in the first 11 months of 2020 rose 62 per cent, indicating investors are confident to continue investing, said Luxmon Attapich, the office's deputy secretary general for Investment and International Affairs.

 

In 2021, the EEC will focus more on wooing investment from industries benefiting from the Covid-19 pandemic fallout, including the digital, health and logistic businesses.

 

During the first 11 months of 2020, total investment in processed food, the bio-industy and medical industry stood at Bt18 billion, which is expected to rise 70 per cent in the next three years.

Delusional. Admitting a worldwide global economic crisis and yet they steam ahead with an optimistic level before the pandemic and now they are keeping it. What an absolutely stupid concept losing face is.

 

I wonder will the EEC be for comment halfway or at the end of the 3 year period or will they fizzle away, like so many officials seem to do when proven they are completely wrong.

Always nice to see people benefitting from the heartache and pain of millions losing their work and lifestyles and relatives
