In the last few days, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and his economic team faced a grilling from hard-boiled Wall Street investors demanding answers, not windy sales pitches. Funds controlling over US$40 trillion pressed ministers on Thailand’s US-China balance, fiscal discipline, ageing workforce and investment prospects. Meanwhile, PIMCO explored data-centre financing and possible dollar debt, while Google pushed ahead with its US$1 billion investment. Thailand also secured a landmark SET-NYSE agreement. Yet behind the high-powered meetings, Wall Street wanted evidence that Thailand can deliver growth, skilled workers and the infrastructure needed for its ambitious AI and data-centre push.

Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has taken Thailand’s investment drive directly to Wall Street and America’s biggest technology companies. His New York campaign ran alongside United Nations engagements from September 22 to September 24. Yet the economic programme extended well beyond diplomacy. Ministers met global funds, banks and companies while pitching Thailand as an ASEAN investment base.

Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun took a central role in the economic offensive. Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaichanok Chidchob handled much of the technology agenda.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow also joined important engagements. Thai capital-market executives accompanied the delegation during meetings with major financial institutions.

The government targeted advanced electronics, artificial intelligence, data centres, energy and agri-food industries. In parallel, it sought greater international capital access for Thai companies. Ministers also promoted Thailand’s established industrial clusters, suppliers and transport networks. However, the New York meetings produced different levels of interest and commitment.

The first major push came on September 22 at Bank of America Tower. Anutin arrived with Suphajee, Chaichanok and senior Thai capital-market representatives. About 25 major institutional investors reportedly joined the broader discussions. Those institutions controlled more than US$40 trillion in assets. Participants included BlackRock, Blackstone, Citadel and Fidelity.

Anutin used the gathering to promote Thailand as a regional business and investment base. His presentation stretched beyond the country’s established manufacturing industries. Notably, he highlighted digital technology, AI infrastructure, data centres, food security and the energy transition. He also stressed fiscal discipline and said public debt would remain within Thailand’s statutory ceiling.

Suphajee then addressed one of the investors’ key questions. They wanted Thailand’s position on relations with Washington and Beijing. She said Bangkok regarded both as major economic powers and important trading partners. Thailand would maintain balanced relations rather than choose between them.

“We are not choosing one side over the other. We want to work with both countries on the basis of balanced relations and mutual benefit,” Suphajee said.

Separately, Suphajee presented Thailand’s economic performance and capital-market developments. She also outlined government measures intended to support growth and new investment. According to her, leading American financial institutions viewed Thailand as a distinctive Asian market.

“Investors are interested in Thailand because the country’s economic performance and fundamentals have improved, including an upgrade to Thailand’s credit rating,” Suphajee said. “The performance of the Thai capital market has also improved. This gives Thailand an opportunity to present its policies and development direction to investors.”

Fiscal policy formed another part of her presentation. “The government prioritises maintaining fiscal discipline while creating an environment conducive to investment and economic growth,” Suphajee said. She said the approach was intended to strengthen investor confidence and support long-term growth.

Beyond immediate investment questions, the funds examined Thailand’s response to structural economic changes. Energy transition featured prominently. Technology adoption and digitalisation also drew attention. In addition, investors examined how technology could increase productivity and strengthen Thailand’s international competitiveness.

Chaichanok pitches technology and skills as US investors question Thailand’s ageing workforce challenge

Chaichanok took responsibility for much of that digital argument. Investors showed particular interest in data centres and supporting infrastructure. Environmental requirements and sustainability also entered the talks. Thailand therefore promoted closer cooperation between government, companies and other partners.

Chaichanok said further infrastructure investment would be required. Equally, he stressed stronger links with universities. Such cooperation could expand Thailand’s supply of skilled technology workers and deepen domestic knowledge. The stated objective was to strengthen Thailand’s position as an ASEAN technology and investment hub.

Demographics produced another line of questioning. Investors raised Thailand’s ageing population and falling birth rate. Both trends could affect future labour supply. In response, Chaichanok said technology and innovation could improve productivity and counter labour constraints. Thailand would simultaneously need to upgrade workforce skills.

Anutin also held separate talks with Pacific Investment Management Company, or PIMCO. He met chief executive Emmanuel “Manny” Roman and managing director Pramol Dhawan at Bank of America Tower. According to reports surrounding the roadshow, PIMCO manages more than US$2.5 trillion.

The meeting covered global economic and financial conditions and Thailand’s economic outlook. Thailand also presented its strategy for stimulating growth and attracting foreign capital. Industrial policy and longer-term growth formed part of the discussions. Digital infrastructure, data centres and alternative energy were specifically identified as investment opportunities.

Crucially, PIMCO reportedly expressed interest in financing Thai data-centre projects. Possible structures included loans and bonds. It also indicated interest in US dollar-denominated Thai government debt should Thailand issue such bonds.

No financing agreement was announced. Thus, the talks represented potential investment rather than committed capital. Still, they established direct discussions with one of the world’s largest fixed-income investment managers.

Microsoft executives also met Anutin during the New York programme. Artificial intelligence formed part of those discussions. Additionally, both sides discussed digital infrastructure, workforce development and cybersecurity. Thailand thanked Microsoft for supporting its effort to join the OECD.

Bank of America’s international president also held talks with the delegation. The executive highlighted Thailand’s focus on AI, digital technology and clean-energy transition. Bank of America also signalled interest in maintaining a longer-term partnership with Thailand. Its international president was due in Thailand for the IMF-World Bank meetings the following month.

Attention shifted deeper into technology on September 23. Anutin and Chaichanok visited Google’s Pier 57 offices in New York. There, they met Ruth Porat, president and chief investment officer of Alphabet and Google.

Google talks widen into AI, jobs and technology transfer as Thailand pushes its digital investment drive

The discussions built upon Google’s existing US$1 billion investment commitment in Thailand. The programme is worth approximately ฿36 billion. It includes a data centre in Chonburi and a Google Cloud region in Bangkok. However, the US$1 billion commitment predated Anutin’s New York visit.

Instead, the latest meeting concentrated on widening cooperation around those investments. Artificial intelligence and additional digital infrastructure were discussed. More significantly, the talks covered technology transfer, Thai employment and skills development.

Environmental demands also received detailed attention. The two sides discussed renewable energy and systematic water management. Environmental protection and responsible data-centre development were also addressed. Thailand wants the projects to strengthen capacity while creating jobs and transferring technology.

Anutin also raised energy efficiency and the welfare of communities surrounding major data centres. He described such facilities as essential infrastructure for AI and the digital economy. At the same time, Thailand sought Google’s experience in developing environmentally responsible standards.

For its part, Google said its Chonburi investment was already proceeding inside the Eastern Economic Corridor. Porat also outlined plans for an “Open Data” institute aimed at developing skilled workers. The initiative would offer opportunities for Thai people and start-ups. She reaffirmed Google’s intention to remain a long-term partner in Thailand.

Data-centre demands come into focus as Anutin broadens US investment drive to more than 20 companies

The discussions came as Thailand examined the heavy infrastructure requirements surrounding hyperscale data centres. Electricity supply is one major issue. Water consumption is another. Consequently, the government wants investment to deliver wider economic benefits alongside physical infrastructure.

Later that day, Anutin held a working lunch with executives from Brookfield. The official programme confirmed the meeting after his Google visit and Thai community engagement. However, no detailed investment outcome from the Brookfield talks was published in the supplied material.

The investment drive widened again that evening. Anutin addressed a gala dinner jointly hosted by the U.S.-ASEAN Business Council and U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Sihasak joined him, while more than 20 leading American companies attended.

The dinner was co-hosted by USABC president and chief executive Brian McFeeters. U.S. Chamber chief international affairs officer Joshua Walker also co-hosted. Michael DeSombre, US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, attended as well.

Companies identified in related discussions included Apple, Chevron, Glenfarne Group and PepsiCo. ServiceNow, Siemens Healthineers and Western Digital were also involved. Consequently, Thailand’s pitch reached companies spanning technology, energy, manufacturing, healthcare and consumer industries.

Anutin targets five US investment sectors as Thailand and NYSE sign wide-ranging capital-market agreement

Anutin used the gathering to identify five priority investment areas. Advanced electronics was one. Artificial intelligence and the wider digital economy were also targeted. Energy and agri-food industries completed the group.

The prime minister argued that additional investment could move Thai production higher within global value chains. Alongside this, Thailand-US trade negotiations entered the discussions. Anutin said progress towards an agreement should create greater predictability for companies operating between both countries.

The trade talks are particularly relevant for companies producing in Thailand for American markets. Trading conditions can directly affect production and investment decisions. Accordingly, the negotiations formed part of Thailand’s wider New York investment pitch.

The campaign produced its clearest signed institutional agreement on September 24. Anutin visited the New York Stock Exchange and joined its opening-bell ceremony. During the visit, the Stock Exchange of Thailand and NYSE signed a memorandum of understanding. Anutin witnessed the agreement.

The pact covers five areas of cooperation. One involves possible dual listings between Thailand and New York. Another covers development and cross-listing of exchange-traded funds. The exchanges will also cooperate on market data and index products.

Additionally, the agreement covers ESG products and services. Both exchanges will exchange information and expertise. The arrangement could provide larger Thai companies with another route into American institutional capital.

Foreign businesses investing in Thailand could also benefit. Such companies could potentially raise capital through Thailand under the BOI-to-IPO programme. The agreement therefore links Thailand’s capital-market development directly with its foreign-investment strategy.

Soon afterwards, Anutin moved to another investor gathering organised through Jefferies. The meeting began at 10.15 am New York time at Lever House. There, the prime minister presented Thailand’s established industrial ecosystem as a central selling point.

Anutin told investors they would not need to construct supply chains from scratch. Thailand already has manufacturing clusters, suppliers and transport infrastructure. Furthermore, those industries are integrated into international production networks.

Against that backdrop, he promoted Thailand as a Southeast Asian operating base. AI infrastructure became another major element of the presentation. Global AI development is increasing demand for data storage and high-speed transmission. It is also increasing electricity and digital-infrastructure requirements.

Anutin cites ฿1.37tn investment surge as Thai officials make their case for returning global capital

Anutin argued that Thailand could capture higher-value investment from that expansion. To support his case, he cited recent foreign investment-promotion applications. They reached ฿1.37 trillion during the first half of 2026. That represented an 80% year-on-year increase.

Capital-market flows provided another important figure during the roadshow. FETCO chairman Paiboon Nalinthrangkool said roughly ฿500 billion had left Thailand during the previous three years. Around ฿50 billion had returned this year.

Paiboon therefore suggested another ฿450 billion could potentially return. That depended on economic growth and investor confidence. Importantly, the ฿450 billion was not money pledged by American investors. Instead, it represented potential returning capital identified by Thailand’s capital-market leadership.

The New York campaign therefore operated across several fronts. Suphajee handled much of the broader economic, trade and capital-market case. Chaichanok concentrated on digital infrastructure, AI, workforce development and technology investment.

Anutin, meanwhile, carried the central investment pitch to global funds and major companies. His argument rested heavily on Thailand’s established manufacturing ecosystem and ASEAN position. Food security, clean energy and digital infrastructure provided additional investment themes.

US drive reaches major funds and technology groups while Thailand’s investment outcomes remain mixed

The delegation also used Thailand’s recent investment figures to strengthen that case. Foreign promotion applications reached ฿1.37 trillion in the first half. Meanwhile, officials highlighted stronger capital-market performance and recent improvements in Thailand’s economic standing.

By the end of the US leg, Thailand had reached an unusually broad group of international investors. About 25 major institutions joined the wider Bank of America discussions. PIMCO held separate talks with Anutin, while Microsoft executives also met him.

Google then held direct talks with Anutin and Chaichanok. Brookfield executives met the prime minister over a working lunch. Jefferies subsequently brought another investor group into the programme.

Beyond Wall Street, more than 20 American companies attended the US business organisations’ dinner. The three-day programme therefore connected Thailand with financial, technology, energy, industrial, healthcare and consumer businesses.

Yet the financial outcomes remained clearly divided. The SET-NYSE memorandum was a newly signed institutional agreement. Google’s US$1 billion investment was substantial but already committed before the trip.

PIMCO, Wall Street funds and Microsoft stop short of new investment pledges as New York roadshow concludes

PIMCO’s interest created another possible financing channel. It covered data-centre loans or bonds and potential dollar-denominated Thai sovereign debt. However, no new PIMCO transaction was announced during the New York programme.

Likewise, no fresh investment amounts emerged from discussions involving BlackRock, Blackstone, Citadel or Fidelity. Microsoft announced no new investment figure. Neither did the Jefferies gathering produce a publicly announced commitment.

The US$40 trillion figure also requires that distinction. It represented assets controlled by institutions involved in the investor discussions. It was not capital promised to Thailand.

Similarly, Paiboon’s ฿450 billion figure was not an American investment pledge. It represented capital that could potentially return after substantial foreign outflows during the previous three years.

Anutin completed the New York programme after his United Nations engagements on September 24. At 5 pm, he was scheduled as Thailand’s eighth speaker in the UNGA81 General Debate. The programme allotted him about 15 minutes.

Anutin wraps up New York programme with UN meetings before taking Thailand’s investment roadshow to London

Before that address, he also had meetings scheduled with leaders from Bhutan, Armenia and Bangladesh. A meeting with the United Nations Secretary-General was included as well.

The investment campaign then shifted immediately to London. Anutin and his delegation left New York on September 24 and arrived in Britain the following morning.

On September 25, the programme included British financial and services businesses. Meetings were also scheduled with the City of London’s leadership and the Thai-UK Business Council. In addition, the delegation was due to meet UBS, Virgin Atlantic and Rolls-Royce.

The London programme extends the capital-market roadshow begun in New York. Thai exchange executives are also participating in meetings with institutional investors through UBS. The delegation is scheduled to leave Britain on September 26 and arrive in Thailand on September 27.

在经济、生活、媒体、泰国

过去几天，泰国总理阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔及其经济团队面临着华尔街强硬投资者的质询，他们要求的是实实在在的答案，而不是空洞的推销说辞。掌控着超过40万亿美元资产的基金向泰国部长们施压，要求他们就泰国与美国的关系平衡、财政纪律、劳动力老龄化以及投资前景等问题作出解释。与此同时，太平洋投资管理公司（PIMCO）探讨了数据中心融资和可能的美元债务融资方案，而谷歌则推进了其10亿美元的投资计划。泰国还达成了一项具有里程碑意义的SET-NYSE协议。然而，在这些高规格会议的背后，华尔街真正想要的是证据，证明泰国能够实现经济增长，培养出高技能人才，并为其雄心勃勃的人工智能和数据中心发展计划提供所需的基础设施。

阿努廷·查恩维拉库尔总理直接将泰国的投资推广活动带到了华尔街和美国最大的科技公司。他的纽约之行与9月22日至24日在联合国举行的各项活动同时进行。然而，这项经济计划远不止于外交层面。部长们会见了全球基金、银行和企业，力推泰国成为东盟的投资基地。

副总理兼商务部长苏帕吉·苏图蓬在经济攻势中发挥了核心作用。数字经济和社会部长柴查诺·奇乔布则负责处理大部分技术议程。

泰国副总理兼外交部长西哈萨克·普昂克乔也参加了重要活动。泰国资本市场高管陪同代表团与主要金融机构举行了会谈。

阿努廷向华尔街推介泰国的投资策略，而美国基金则对其全球经济地位提出质疑。

泰国政府重点扶持先进电子、人工智能、数据中心、能源和农产品加工业。与此同时，政府也寻求为泰国企业拓展国际资本渠道。部长们还大力推广泰国现有的产业集群、供应商和运输网络。然而，纽约会议引发的兴趣和承诺程度不一。

第一次重大推进行动发生在9月22日，地点是美国银行大厦。阿努廷与苏帕吉、柴查诺克以及泰国资本市场高级代表一同抵达。据报道，约有25家大型机构投资者参与了此次更广泛的讨论。这些机构控制的资产超过40万亿美元。参与者包括贝莱德、黑石集团、城堡投资和富达投资。

阿努廷利用此次会议，大力宣传泰国作为区域商业和投资基地的地位。他的演讲内容远不止于泰国传统的制造业。值得注意的是，他重点介绍了数字技术、人工智能基础设施、数据中心、粮食安全和能源转型。他还强调了财政纪律，并表示公共债务将保持在泰国法定上限之内。

随后，苏帕吉回答了投资者们的一个关键问题。他们想了解泰国在与华盛顿和北京的关系上的立场。她表示，曼谷将华盛顿和北京都视为重要的经济强国和贸易伙伴。泰国将维持与这两大经济体的平衡关系，而不是在两者之间做出选择。

苏帕吉告诉华尔街，泰国将在保持严格财政纪律的同时，平衡与美国的关系。

苏帕吉表示：“我们不偏袒任何一方。我们希望在平衡关系和互利共赢的基础上与两国合作。”

此外，苏帕吉还介绍了泰国的经济表现和资本市场发展情况。她还概述了政府为支持经济增长和吸引新投资而采取的措施。据她介绍，美国主要金融机构将泰国视为一个独特的亚洲市场。

苏帕吉表示：“投资者对泰国感兴趣，是因为该国的经济表现和基本面有所改善，包括泰国信用评级的提升。泰国资本市场的表现也有所改善。这为泰国提供了一个向投资者展示其政策和发展方向的机会。”

财政政策是她演讲的另一部分。“政府优先考虑保持财政纪律，同时创造有利于投资和经济增长的环境，”苏帕吉说。她表示，这一举措旨在增强投资者信心，支持长期增长。

除了直接的投资问题外，这些基金还考察了泰国应对结构性经济变革的措施。能源转型是重点关注领域。技术应用和数字化也备受关注。此外，投资者还研究了技术如何提高生产力并增强泰国的国际竞争力。

面对美国投资者对泰国劳动力老龄化挑战的质疑，柴查诺克力推技术和技能。

猜查诺克承担了大部分数字化议题的讨论责任。投资者对数据中心及配套基础设施表现出浓厚的兴趣。环境要求和可持续性也纳入了讨论范围。因此，泰国推动了政府、企业及其他合作伙伴之间更紧密的合作。

柴查诺克表示，还需要进一步的基础设施投资。同时，他也强调要加强与大学的联系。这种合作可以扩大泰国技术工人的供应，并深化国内知识体系。其既定目标是巩固泰国作为东盟技术和投资中心的地位。

人口结构问题引发了另一系列疑问。投资者提出了泰国人口老龄化和出生率下降的问题。这两个趋势都可能影响未来的劳动力供应。对此，柴查诺克表示，技术和创新可以提高生产力，缓解劳动力短缺的问题。与此同时，泰国也需要提升劳动力的技能。

阿努廷还与太平洋投资管理公司（PIMCO）进行了单独会谈。他在美国银行大厦会见了首席执行官伊曼纽尔·“曼尼”·罗曼和董事总经理普拉莫尔·达万。据路演相关报道，PIMCO管理的资产超过2.5万亿美元。

会议涵盖了全球经济和金融形势以及泰国的经济前景。泰国还介绍了其刺激经济增长和吸引外资的战略。产业政策和长期增长是讨论的重点。数字基础设施、数据中心和替代能源被特别列为投资机遇。

PIMCO 关注泰国数据中心融资和美元债务，与此同时，Anutin 正积极争取全球最大基金之一的投资。

至关重要的是，据报道，PIMCO已表示有兴趣为泰国数据中心项目提供融资，可能的融资结构包括贷款和债券。该公司还表示，如果泰国发行以美元计价的泰国政府债券，PIMCO也对此感兴趣。

双方并未宣布任何融资协议。因此，此次会谈仅代表潜在投资，而非已承诺的资金。尽管如此，他们还是与全球最大的固定收益投资管理公司之一建立了直接对话机制。

在纽约的活动期间，微软高管也与阿努廷会面。人工智能是双方讨论的重点之一。此外，双方还探讨了数字基础设施、劳动力发展和网络安全等议题。泰国感谢微软支持其加入经合组织的努力。

美国银行国际总裁也与代表团举行了会谈。这位高管重点介绍了泰国在人工智能、数字技术和清洁能源转型方面的投入。美国银行还表示有意与泰国建立长期合作伙伴关系。该行国际总裁原计划下个月前往泰国参加国际货币基金组织和世界银行的会议。

9月23日，人们的注意力更加深入地转向了科技领域。阿努廷和柴查诺克参观了谷歌位于纽约57号码头的办公室。在那里，他们会见了Alphabet和谷歌的总裁兼首席投资官露丝·波拉特。

随着泰国加大数字化投资力度，谷歌与泰国的谈判范围扩大至人工智能、就业和技术转让等领域。

此次讨论建立在谷歌此前对泰国10亿美元的投资承诺之上。该项目总价值约360亿泰铢，包括在春武里府建设一个数据中心，以及在曼谷建设一个谷歌云区域。不过，这10亿美元的投资承诺是在阿努廷访问纽约之前做出的。

然而，最近一次会议的重点是扩大围绕这些投资的合作。会议讨论了人工智能和更多数字基础设施。更重要的是，会谈还涵盖了技术转让、泰国就业和技能发展等议题。

环境需求也得到了详细关注。双方讨论了可再生能源和系统化的水资源管理，以及环境保护和负责任的数据中心开发。泰国希望这些项目在提升自身能力的同时，创造就业机会并进行技术转让。

阿努廷还强调了能源效率以及大型数据中心周边社区的福祉。他指出，这些设施是人工智能和数字经济的关键基础设施。与此同时，泰国也希望借鉴谷歌在制定环境友好型标准方面的经验。

谷歌方面表示，其在春武里府的投资项目已在东部经济走廊内推进。波拉特还概述了旨在培养技能型人才的“开放数据”研究所的计划。该计划将为泰国民众和初创企业提供发展机遇。她重申了谷歌将继续作为泰国长期合作伙伴的意愿。

随着阿努廷将美国投资范围扩大到20多家公司，数据中心的需求日益凸显。

泰国政府正在审视超大规模数据中心所需的大量基础设施，而此次讨论正是在此背景下展开的。电力供应是其中一个主要问题，用水量也是另一个重要问题。因此，泰国政府希望投资不仅能带来基础设施建设，还能带来更广泛的经济效益。

当天晚些时候，阿努廷与布鲁克菲尔德公司的高管共进工作午餐。官方日程安排证实，此次会面是在他访问谷歌和参与泰国社区活动之后进行的。然而，提供的资料中并未公布与布鲁克菲尔德会谈的具体投资成果。

当晚，投资活动再次扩大。阿努廷在由美东盟商务理事会和美国商会联合举办的盛大晚宴上发表了讲话。西哈萨克也出席了晚宴，此外还有20多家美国领先企业参加了活动。

此次晚宴由美国商会主席兼首席执行官布莱恩·麦克菲特斯和美国商会首席国际事务官约书亚·沃克共同主持。美国负责东亚和太平洋事务的助理国务卿迈克尔·德索姆布雷也出席了晚宴。

相关讨论中提及的公司包括苹果、雪佛龙、格兰法恩集团和百事可乐。ServiceNow、西门子医疗和西部数据也参与其中。因此，泰国的推介吸引了涵盖科技、能源、制造、医疗保健和消费品等行业的众多公司。

阿努廷瞄准美国五大投资领域，与此同时，泰国与纽约证券交易所签署了范围广泛的资本市场协议。

阿努廷利用此次会议确定了五个优先投资领域。先进电子产品是其中之一。人工智能和更广泛的数字经济也是重点关注领域。能源和农产品加工业也位列其中。

总理认为，增加投资可以提升泰国产品在全球价值链中的地位。与此同时，泰美贸易谈判也进入了讨论阶段。阿努廷表示，达成协议的进展将为两国企业带来更大的可预测性。

贸易谈判对在泰国生产并销往美国市场的公司尤为重要。贸易条件会直接影响生产和投资决策。因此，此次谈判是泰国向纽约推介投资计划的重要组成部分。

9月24日，该活动达成了迄今为止最明确的机构合作协议。阿努廷访问了纽约证券交易所，并参加了开市敲钟仪式。访问期间，泰国证券交易所与纽约证券交易所签署了一份谅解备忘录。阿努廷见证了该协议的签署。

该协议涵盖五个合作领域。其中一项涉及泰国和纽约之间可能的双重上市。另一项涉及交易所交易基金（ETF）的开发和交叉上市。双方交易所还将就市场数据和指数产品展开合作。

在阿努廷向杰富瑞推介泰国产业生态系统之前，与纽约证券交易所达成的交易开辟了新的融资渠道。

此外，该协议还涵盖ESG产品和服务。双方交易所将交换信息和专业知识。这项安排或可为泰国大型企业提供另一条进入美国机构资本市场的途径。

在泰国投资的外国企业也能从中受益。这些企业有可能通过泰国投资促进委员会（BOI）的IPO计划在泰国筹集资金。因此，该协议将泰国资本市场的发展与其外国投资战略直接联系起来。

随后，阿努廷前往参加由杰富瑞集团组织的另一场投资者会议。会议于纽约时间上午10点15分在利华大厦举行。会上，阿努廷总理重点介绍了泰国成熟的产业生态系统，并将其作为核心卖点。

阿努廷告诉投资者，他们无需从零开始构建供应链。泰国已经拥有制造业集群、供应商和运输基础设施。此外，这些产业已经融入国际生产网络。

在此背景下，他将泰国定位为东南亚运营基地。人工智能基础设施成为此次演讲的另一大重点。全球人工智能的发展不断提升对数据存储和高速传输的需求，同时也增加了对电力和数字基础设施的需求。

阿努廷援引1.37万亿泰铢的投资激增数据，称泰国官员正在努力争取全球资本回流。

阿努廷认为，泰国可以从经济扩张中吸引更高价值的投资。为了佐证他的观点，他列举了近期外国投资促进申请的数据。2026年上半年，外国投资促进申请总额达到1.37万亿泰铢，同比增长80%。

在路演过程中，资本市场流动数据也成为另一个重要指标。泰国金融贸易委员会（FETCO）主席派汶·纳林特朗库尔表示，过去三年约有5000亿泰铢资金流出泰国，而今年约有500亿泰铢资金回流。

因此，派汶认为可能还有4500亿泰铢的资金回流。这取决于经济增长和投资者信心。值得注意的是，这4500亿泰铢并非美国投资者承诺的资金，而是泰国资本市场领导者确定的潜在回流资本。

因此，纽约竞选活动在多个战线上展开。苏帕吉主要负责处理更广泛的经济、贸易和资本市场方面的议题。柴查诺克则专注于数字基础设施、人工智能、劳动力发展和技术投资。

与此同时，阿努廷负责向全球基金和大型企业推介投资项目。他的论点主要基于泰国成熟的制造业体系和东盟地位。粮食安全、清​​洁能源和数字基础设施也成为其他投资主题。

美国投资活动惠及大型基金和科技集团，而泰国的投资成果则喜忧参半。

代表团还援引泰国近期公布的投资数据来佐证这一观点。上半年，外国投资促进申请数量达到1.37万亿泰铢。与此同时，官员们强调了资本市场表现强劲以及泰国经济状况近期有所改善。

美国之行结束时，泰国已吸引了一批数量异常庞大的国际投资者。约有25家大型机构参与了由美国银行主导的更广泛讨论。太平洋投资管理公司（PIMCO）与阿努廷进行了单独会谈，微软高管也与他会面。

随后，谷歌与阿努廷和柴查诺克进行了直接会谈。布鲁克菲尔德的高管与总理共进工作午餐。杰富瑞随后又引入了另一家投资集团加入该项目。

除了华尔街之外，还有20多家美国公司参加了美国商业组织的晚宴。因此，为期三天的活动将泰国与金融、科技、能源、工业、医疗保健和消费品等行业的企业联系起来。

然而，财务结果依然泾渭分明。SET-NYSE备忘录是一项新签署的机构协议。谷歌的10亿美元投资数额巨大，但早在出差前就已经承诺。

随着纽约路演的结束，PIMCO、华尔街基金和微软均未做出新的投资承诺。

PIMCO的兴趣开辟了另一条可能的融资渠道，涵盖数据中心贷款或债券以及潜在的以美元计价的泰国主权债务。然而，在纽约的会议期间，PIMCO并未宣布任何新的交易。

同样，贝莱德、黑石、城堡投资和富达等公司在相关讨论中均未透露新的投资金额。微软也未宣布新的投资额。杰富瑞的会议也未产生任何公开宣布的投资承诺。

40万亿美元的数字也需要加以区分。它代表的是参与投资者洽谈的机构所控制的资产，而不是承诺给泰国的资金。

同样，派汶提出的4500亿泰铢并非美国的投资承诺，而是过去三年大量外资外流后可能回流的资金。

阿努廷在9月24日结束联合国活动后，完成了纽约之行。当天下午5点，他被安排在第81届联合国大会一般性辩论中作为泰国的第八位发言人发言。会议安排给他大约15分钟的发言时间。

阿努廷在纽约结束联合国会议后，将携泰国投资路演前往伦敦。

在发表讲话之前，他还安排了与不丹、亚美尼亚和孟加拉国领导人的会晤，以及与联合国秘书长的会晤。

随后，投资活动立即转移到伦敦。阿努廷及其代表团于9月24日离开纽约，并于次日清晨抵达英国。

9月25日，该行程包括与英国金融和服务业企业会面。代表团还计划与伦敦金融城领导层和泰英商业理事会举行会晤。此外，代表团还将与瑞银集团、维珍航空和劳斯莱斯公司会面。

伦敦之行是纽约路演的延续。泰国交易所高管也通过瑞银集团参与了与机构投资者的会谈。代表团计划于9月26日离开英国，并于9月27日抵达泰国。
