[Visual: Graph showing the increase in waste generation in the EEC]
Hurdles Faced by the EEC
• Waste disposal and recycling factories in the EEC have limited capacity and technology to handle the increasing waste generated by industries.
• Some industrial operators resort to dumping waste on public land due to the high cost of sending it to treatment facilities.
• This poses significant environmental risks and threatens the well-being of local communities.
[Visual: Image illustrating improper waste disposal]
Policy Recommendations for Sustainable Waste Management
• Increase public awareness and participation in waste reduction and segregation for recycling and safe disposal.

• Promote convenient recycling options through the availability of recycling bins and digital platforms connecting households with recycling businesses.
[Visual: Chart showcasing the increase in recycling rates with improved awareness]
Promoting Circular Economy in Waste Management
• Emphasize the circular economy concept in industrial waste management and disposal.
• Support the use of industrial waste or by-products as resources for other industries through industrial symbiosis.
• Encourage investment in new technology and players in the waste management industry.
[Visual: Diagram illustrating the circular economy concept]
Achieving Sustainable Waste Management in the EEC
• Effective waste management solutions are crucial to protect public health and the environment in the EEC.
• Increasing public awareness, strengthening human resources, and promoting the circular economy are key steps.
• The government must address obstacles and commit to efficient and professional waste management to prevent adverse effects on the EEC's development.

Source: tdri.or.th - html - 1,164 words - view
Introduction
• The Thai economy is projected to experience moderate growth in the coming years.
• Potential challenges introduce uncertainty for policymakers and businesses.
Forecasted Growth in 2023
• The Thai economy is forecasted to grow by 3.5% in 2023.
• This growth will be fueled by household consumption, remittances from tourism, growing exports (especially to China), and private investments.
Key Headwinds for the Thai Economy
• Recession in major economies is a key headwind for the Thai economy in 2023.
• Geopolitical tensions pose challenges and uncertainties for Thailand's economic growth.
• High prices and lending interest rate hikes also contribute to the headwinds.
Rising Energy Prices and Supply Chain Disruptions

• Relocations mainly occur in high-technology sectors, including automobiles, electronics, petrochemicals, and information technology.
Positioning Thailand for Foreign Investments
• Thailand needs to position itself as a leading digital infrastructure provider in the region.
• The country should also focus on becoming a green and low-carbon production base.
• These strategies will attract greater foreign investments to support economic growth.

Reforming Thailand: A Dual Challenge
Source: tdri.or.th - html - 1,344 words - view
Ageing Leaders and Outdated Laws
• Ageing leaders and outdated laws hinder Thailand's competitiveness in the global economy.
• The power monopoly held by old leaders may contribute to Thailand's economic decline.
• The average age of leaders in Thailand is higher than in countries like Singapore.
Impact of Ageing Leaders
• Thailand's ranking in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking dropped to 33 out of 63 economies.
• Thailand performed poorly in the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking, ranking 40 out of 63 economies.
• The digital readiness for the future in Thailand is low, ranking 53 out of 100 countries in the Startup Ecosystem Report.
Outdated Laws Hindering Business Growth
• Outdated laws like the anti-gambling law and the tourism law prevent business growth.
• The anti-gambling law is unable to combat online gambling effectively.
• The tourism law fails to cover new forms of accommodation, such as tents and Airbnb rentals.
Hindrance to Adaptation to New Technologies
• Existing laws do not support modern technologies or the digital economy.
• There are no laws supporting the testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads.
• Some regulations prevent startups from receiving funding from public investors.
Overhaul and Modernize Laws through Regulatory Reform
• Thailand needs to overhaul and modernize its laws to catch up with the times.
• Remove obsolete laws, revise existing ones, and create new laws to support new technologies.
• Examples from South Korea and Vietnam show significant benefits from regulatory reform.
Lack of Political Will and Bureaucratic Inertia
• Progress in regulatory reform is slow due to a lack of political will and bureaucratic inertia.
• Overcoming these obstacles is crucial for Thailand's competitiveness in the global economy.
Limitations of the 20-Year National Strategy
