Vice-Finance Minister Santitarn Sathirathai says BoI will judge foreign investment by the value it adds to Thailand, not just capital, with local content rising steadily over 3-5 years. A subcommittee chaired by Finance Minister Ekniti is reviewing local-content rules, and EV excise and support measures may change to favour domestic production. No new rule is in force yet. For a Thai SME, the opening is supplying parts, services and materials to EV, data centre and other foreign-backed projects; watch for the local-content rules and tax changes.
