Government officials have highlighted its allocation of more than 1.12 trillion baht in public investment to help drive economic growth in fiscal 2027.According to government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek, although the government's investment budget in the fiscal 2027 budget bill amounts to only 789 billion baht, down by 72.5 billion baht or 8.4% from fiscal 2026, this does not mean public investment is being reduced.
The government continues to invest through other channels, including 286 billion baht in investment by state-owned enterprises, 40.6 billion in public-private partnership projects, and 10 billion via Thailand Future Funds. These efforts provide more than 330 billion baht in additional investment, bringing total public investment for fiscal 2027 to 1.12 trillion baht, she said.
This amount is slightly higher than investment spending of roughly 1.11 trillion baht in fiscal 2026.
The fiscal 2027 budget totalling 3.788 trillion baht, up 0.2% from the previous fiscal year, recently passed its first reading in parliament.
