THE PRIME Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has given priority to policies which involve increasing the ease of doing business in Thailand, the government has said.
The registering of a business will now take only one working day while other major barriers, such as the process required to get a construction permit, will be simplified this quarter, said Somkid Jatusripitak, deputy prime minister in charge of economic affairs.
“The prime minister has chaired a meeting today [of the Council of Economic Ministers] for the first time because he sees the increase in the ease of doing business, or the eradication of business and investment barriers, as one of the most important aspects that will increase the amount of investments in Thailand,” Somkid said.
