## Economic Challenges in Thailand

According to the report, Thailand’s economic tier ranking was the lowest among the
countries analyzed. The economy is projected to grow between 2.2 and 2.7 percent
in 2024, attributed to a slowdown in exports, a vital component of Thailand’s economy.
High household debt, amounting to 87 percent of GDP in 2023, poses further challenges.

## Highlights for Indonesia in EAMI 2024

Among the highlights for Indonesia in the report is the approval for expanding the
EV3.5 scheme to boost the production of electric vehicles (EVs). This includes subsidies
of up to 100,000 baht per car from 2024 to 2027, aiming to support electric passenger
cars, motorcycles, and pickup trucks. Companies can benefit from tax deductions 
on e-bus and e-truck purchases, reducing their corporate income tax burden.
