(P&GJ) — The Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) granted investment privileges to projects worth a combined 56.6 billion baht ($1.64 billion) that will strengthen the country's infrastructure, especially in the energy and digital sectors.

"The projects that have been granted investment privileges today will help strengthen the country's infrastructure, which is a key factor in attracting more foreign investment," Mr. Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary General to the BOI, told reporters at a briefing held at Government Houses after the board meeting chaired by Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha.
