As a new Thai government is taking shape under the leadership of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, the Japanese business sector, which plays a crucial role in Thailand’s economy, looks forward to seeing consistency and open communication in the economic policy of the incoming administration.

 

In an exclusive interview with Thai PBS World, President of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, Bangkok, (JCC), Noriaki Yamashita, emphasised the importance of Japan’s presence, as foreign direct investment from Japan accounts for 30% of the capital invested in Thailand in past five years, adding that the collaboration between two countries should continue moving forward.

 

As Srettha officially becomes Thailand’s 30th Prime Minister, Yamashita said that the new government should communicate with investors before executing any policy which might affect their confidence.

If Japan ever pulled the plug on Thailand it would implode.
