He said the amount of money the government has injected to revive the economy via its fiscal and monetary measures following the Covid-19 pandemic account for as much as 20% of GDP.

While the pandemic has disrupted some foreign investment in the industrial hub near Bangkok, the corridor’s 625 billion baht (US$20bil or RM82.19bil) in infrastructure projects – including an airport, seaport and high-speed rail – have supported growth during the pandemic, according to Kanit Sangsubhan, secretary-general of the Eastern Economic Corridor Office.
