Bangkok: The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) have embarked on a collaborative initiative aimed at attracting investment and bolstering the potential of entrepreneurs within the EEC.

According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Asadej Kongsiri, Director and Manager of the Stock Exchange of Thailand, and Mr. Chula Sukmanop, Secretary-General of the Eastern Economic Corridor Policy Committee, convened with executives to explore investment promotion guidelines and the development of a financial ecosystem conducive to investment in the EEC. This meeting took place on October 14th at the Eastern Economic Corridor Policy Committee Office.

The discussion centered on creating mechanisms to draw capital from both domestic and international sources, while also supporting entrepreneurs in the EEC, particularly those in the New S-Curve industries, to efficiently access funding. These industries, promoted by the EEC, include the modern automotive industry, smart electronics, integrated medical, and digital sectors.

The two agencies examined strategies to encourage entrepreneurs in the EEC to adopt robust and sustainable business standards, preparing them for potential listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. In addition, they are considering organizing roadshows both domestically and internationally to showcase the EEC region’s potential, inviting local companies to list on the Stock Exchange of Thailand and enhancing investor confidence globally.

This meeting underscores the dedication of the EEC and SET to strengthen the business sector in the EEC, contributing to the sustainable growth of the Thai economy.
