THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2026

Protests against poor public services and high living costs sweep across Europe, as shops have been looted and protests turn to violence. What should Thailand learn from it?

French Minister Delegate for Francophonie, International Partnerships and French Nationals Abroad, said that public straints will impact the ministry’s strategies and implementation. 

Thailand’s business environment is scored with only 5.4 out of 10, as business leaders need swift regulatory reforms and better investment conditions. 

Antonio Costa, CEO of Kaizen Institute and Ramesh Raju, Managing Director and Senior Partner of Kaizen Institute Thailand, noted that businesses are now “wait and see”.
