The Thai government’s multi-trillion Baht infrastructure spending plans have recently received a boost with parliament approving a new PPP law. The new legislation should, in theory, speed up and facilitate private investment spending into the country, particularly in infrastructure.
This policy brief examines the new legislation as well as highlighting some of the major projects slated by the Thai government under their 5.5 trillion Baht spending agenda.
