Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The plan is part of the administration's push for fiscal consolidation, as the government budget is currently stretched and approaching its 70 per cent self-imposed ceiling. This measure is intended to make more funds available for potential shocks to the Thai economy.
