According to him, the present plan for 2018-2022 has resulted in an investment in the EEC that has reached 1.8 trillion baht, which is more above the aim of 1.7 trillion baht.

The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), which encompasses three provinces to the east of the capital Bangkok, is at the core of the government’s efforts to stimulate economic expansion and promote investment, especially in high-tech sectors.

According to an estimate released by the official planning office on Monday, the economy of the country with the second-largest GDP in Southeast Asia is anticipated to expand by 2.7 to 3.2 percent this year.
