Tossapon said the sectors that received significant foreign investment in April were petroleum extraction, logistics services, mass transit services, advertising and marketing.
“In the first four months of 2021, 75 foreign companies were approved under the FBA with combined investment value of Bt7.96 billion,” he added.
