The private sector has called for the next government to carry on with development projects as stated in the 20-year national strategy plan (2018-38). The National Legislative Assembly approved the National Strategy Act in July 2018 to make it legally binding for future governments. The country's national strategy comes with 23 master plans to be put into action. According to the latest report by the National Economic and Social Development Council, there are 17 infrastructure projects worth 739 billion baht under construction. The private sector has yet to ask for any aid measures to offset the negative impact from the deepening US-China trade war.
