The Cabinet, during its meeting on March 9, approved a budget of one billion baht to carry out “creative economy” projects under the “Thai Khem Khaeng,” or “Thailand: Investing from Strength to Strength 2012,” Operation Plan.
The fund was proposed by the National Creative Economy Policy Committee, chaired by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. The committee also proposed a number of creative economy projects that are ready for implementation in 2010, so as to achieve the “Creative Thailand Commitments” in four areas.
The first area, Creative Infrastructure, seeks to upgrade infrastructure projects to support the creative economy system. The second area, Creative Education and Human Resources, seeks to lay the foundations for creative thinking in the Thai education system.
