The government has pledged to move ahead with new regional economic corridors and continuation of its promotion of 10 existing special economic zones (SEZs) in an effort to decentralise development and growth, as well as lure investment to the provinces.
Deputy government spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul said yesterday following a meeting of the Special Economic Zone Policy Committee, chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, the commitment to develop four new special economic corridors and promote the 10 existing SEZs remains on track.
"The four new corridors and 10 SEZs are regarded as vital tools to boost the economy in each region and decentralise income," said Ms Traisuree. "Apart from the provinces in those areas, the government also promises to develop infrastructure and create linkages to adjacent provinces."
