Local media quoted Deputy Commerce Minister Weerasak Wangsuphakijkosol as saying that the Business Development Department has been ordered to strengthen and upgrade the four service sectors to raise competitiveness.
It was also asked to provide more in-depth knowledge of marketing, business administration, financial management and accounting, as well as cost management for the services.
According to the department, as of September 26, there were over 18,000 business registrations in the four services with registered capital of 127 billion baht (4.17 billion USD).
