Thai Chamber of Commerce Supports Quick Government Formation to Restore Economic Confidence
Phot Aramwattananon, Chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, announced that the private sector is pleased the recent election proceeded smoothly without significant obstacles, reflecting the development of Thai democracy and collaboration across sectors. Currently, private sector and public stakeholders are awaiting official election results confirmation from the Election Commission to quickly proceed with government formation. Thailand is facing economic, geopolitical, and border tension challenges that require domestic and international confidence, necessitating a stable government with full administrative power. The government formation and cabinet should be established rapidly to ensure continuous budget implementation, public investment, and economic stimulus measures. Major political parties should quickly gather support to create political stability and form a unified government. When establishing the cabinet, consideration should be given to individual expertise in key ministries like Foreign Affairs, Finance, and Commerce, focusing on people who can 'understand the work and perform immediately'. The Thai Chamber of Commerce remains committed to zero corruption principles and is prepared to work closely with the new government to restore national and international confidence.
