Pridiyathorn: Thailand needs pro-investment Prime Minister

Former Finance Minister MR Pridiyathorn Devakula said the new prime minister should play the leading role in driving the economy.

He said he's not worried about stability though the new government would comprise coalition parties.

"If the new prime minister is bold in new investment, the private sector would follow. The Thai economy would grow as much as this year. Though export value could drop, the government and private investment would boost the economy. If the new government lacks this initiative, confidence would not be restored," he said.

He said the new prime minister must show the leadership in kicking off government investment, which has been stalled in the past 15 months. Top on the agenda is the investment in new infrastructure projects and the approval to 11 petrochemical investment projects.
