Commerce Minister Abhiradee Tantraporn revealed on January 11 that the ministry had invited government and private sectors to join the Public-Private Steering Committee to discuss the promotion of exports and outward investment.
The committee concluded that the Board of Investment (BOI) will look into manufacturing-based investment while the DITP will focus on non-manufacturing based investment, including opening new businesses and franchises overseas and setting up sale representative offices.
The meeting also set a 6% growth target for exports and investment in the ASEAN market under the ‘Deepening ASEAN’ initiative. Branded and consumer products, and the health and beauty, film, construction, logistics, education and franchise sectors were prioritised.
