The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) plans to invite political party leaders to debate Thailand's economic challenges and their solutions as the country gears up for a new general election.
An FTI economic team is drafting details of Thailand's business challenges, focusing on higher costs in five areas: raw materials, labour, energy, logistics and finance.
Rising expenses could impact the competitiveness of local businesses and the country over the longer term, said FTI chairman Kriengkrai Thiennukul after a meeting of the Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB) yesterday.
