Continued infrastructure investment by the next government is needed for sustainable growth after the impacts of short-term stimulus fade, says InnovestX Securities. "If the goal is sustainable growth, infrastructure investment must take priority," he said, noting all major political parties have proposed large development projects. Stronger coordination between fiscal and monetary policy is needed to support growth, particularly as inflation remains subdued, credit growth is negative and the baht has strengthened, he said. Risks remain as rising long-term bond yields reflect concerns over increasing public debt. Thai GDP growth is projected at 1.4%, but full implementation of major party policies could lift growth by 0.5 to 0.9 percentage points.
