Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has declared Thailand the most investment-ready country in the region following the launch of the Thailand Fast Pass programme on Tuesday, which is set to accelerate approvals and permits for investors.Speaking at the launch, Mr Anutin said Thailand enjoys advantages in geopolitics, location, logistics, political stability, and trade connectivity, positioning it as a regional hub.

"When all factors are considered, Thailand is more prepared than any other country in the region," he said.

The first group of 23 companies receiving Thailand Fast Pass privileges and Board of Investment (BOI) promotion certificates are engaged in high-technology industries rather than labour-intensive manufacturing.

These include the production of Airbus aircraft engine components, rockets, satellites, and LiDAR systems used in the automotive sector.
