Sydney: Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has expressed his satisfaction with the confidence major Australian investors have shown in Thailand's economic and political stability, a factor he attributes to the successful implementation of the "BOI Fast Pass" policy. This policy has significantly bolstered investment inflows, reaching 1.4 trillion baht in the first half of the year. Anutin is set to discuss potential easing of restrictions on aviation fuel exports with the Australian Prime Minister during his visit to Canberra, aiming to leverage Thailand's surplus stock to enhance national revenue. Additionally, he is pursuing negotiations to extend work visas to support the employment of Thai chefs in Australia. According to Thai News Agency, Anutin shared these developments following an informal meeting with Australian business leaders at the Thailand-Australia Investment and Business Partnership Reception, hosted by the Board of Investment (BOI) in Sydney. The event highlighted the increasing trend of large Aus tralian companies establishing and expanding their production bases in Thailand, drawn by the nation's stability and logistical readiness. Anutin emphasized that foreign businesspeople's confidence in Thailand's investment potential is robust, ranking it as their top choice. He stressed the importance of maintaining unity within Thailand to enhance its attractiveness to investors. The BOI's Thailand Fast Pass policy has played a pivotal role in this success, streamlining investment processes and solving potential obstacles efficiently, with no negative feedback reported from investors. With investments reaching A$60 billion (approximately 1.4 trillion baht) in the first half of the year, Anutin underscored the compatibility of Australian technology with Thailand's supply chains. He is committed to fostering trust and addressing investor needs, which he believes will further bolster Thailand's economic landscape. Anutin also addressed the upcoming discussions with the Australian Prime Minister, particularly regarding the potential export of jet fuel, as Thailand holds surplus reserves due to high diesel production. This move could meet Australia's increasing demand, enhance Thai exports, and boost national revenue. Furthermore, Anutin is committed to negotiating opportunities for Thai workers in Australia, particularly chefs, to mitigate the shortage in the growing Thai restaurant sector. He assured that current Thai workers in Australia contribute legally and skillfully to the economy, proposing that opening more opportunities for skilled Thai workers could be mutually beneficial, fostering economic growth in both nations.
