Foreign Direct Investment and Economic growth of Thailand

If you are thoroughly focusing on GDP you have to mention that in your topic as well and
please be more clear regarding the industry that you are focusing on, since you mentioned
trade, industrial and service sector all below
Outline to the research:
The research aims to analyse the factors that attract Foreign investors to invest in Thailand. This
aims to cover the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and its growth rate, trade, industrial and
service sectors growth with insight into its contribution to the economic development. The
research would then proceed to analyse the FDI in Thailand with a introspect into sectoral and
geographical distribution of the same in the economy. We would also analyse the factors that
motivate Outward FDI from Thailand.
The economy of Thailand would be compared to that of China to see what factors differentiate
the huge variance between both the economies in attracting FDI. These would also allow us to
draw lessons to be learnt for Thailand.
