Applications for Board of Investment privileges topped Bt2.9 trillion in 2014, the highest in nearly 50 years.
Hirunya Suchinai, acting secretary-general of the BOI, said yesterday that the number of applications submitted last year rose 73 per cent to 3,469, while project value was 117 per cent higher.
Infrastructure and service projects headed the list, followed by chemical, paper, plastics and automobile projects. The focus this year will be on the quality of investment projects, rather than their number or size, she said.
