Abstract

Along with the growth and integration of its economy into the global economy, Thailand has made significant progress in the areas of sustainable and equitable development. With the rise of significant new economic markets, Thailand’s advantageous location serves as a gateway to Southeast Asia. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is one of the most important sources of external capital for nations in today’s increasingly globalised world. This study uses yearly data from 1980 to 2022 to examine the connection between globalisation and FDI in Thailand. According to the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) analysis, trade openness—a gauge of globalization—has significantly influenced FDI inflows into Thailand. The empirical results show that FDI inflows and globalisation are positively correlated. Policymakers may find these findings useful in developing plans to increase FDI prospects in Thailand.
