any suggestions or observations to offer? And at the meeting there was a proposal for all sectors to debate on a wide scale. Not just the Budget Office of the Ministry of Finance, the National Bank, the Secretary-General of the National Council of Thailand. but will include the Ministry of DES Ministry of Commerce which reported on the current economic situation
The Prime Minister emphasized that Today there is a wide-ranging discussion with no cut off meeting. Everyone would like to make suggestions and discuss in detail, but it must be acknowledged that the information from the NACC has just arrived. Many of the information are secret information. Today it has just been revealed. Many people have asked to study, which they are happy about. Because it is important that every director must study.

onomic conditions, especially GDP inflation that is lower than the normal economy. The matter of interest And there are many matters that we attach great importance to and the committee will hold another meeting, not just a group discussion. outside for transparency Then all parties will have clear suggestions. After 30 days, there should be something clear. However, if it is not issued as an Act I don’t know if the project loan will be in time this year or not. We’ll have to wait and hear. Comments on whether there is a method
As for people’s feelings about having to wait another 30 days, the Prime Minister said that it is a fact that if we speed things up, there will be many sectors saying why we must speed up. If you speed up, there will be an observation of whether there is an incorrect action or not. We understand the suffering of our fellow citizens, Mr. Phumtham Wechayachai, Deputy Prime Minister. I point out the situation. Ministry of Commerce that purchasing power The cost of living is being support
ed. If you do old things will return to the same whirlpool as before Therefore, if there is a delay in order to be correct, listen to the broad opinions and believe that it is correct and necessary.
As for if the offer can be done or not? Will the timeline shift from the original? Or don’t use the loan and use the 2025 budget. The Prime Minister said it probably wouldn’t reach that level. But it’s possible. It depends on what the conclusion will be. And using the word “slow but sure” is possible, but I’m not sure if it’s slow or not because I’m not sure what the feedback is. Because if the proposal comes out, everyone agrees that it is urgent. There are committees that have been established in every sector and are comfortable. To supervise this matter to be transparent, the committee that is responsible for the agency must be able to answer questions from the people. If you can explain it, you should be able to move on quickly.
As for the NACC proposal to distribute only to vulnerable groups, must it be rev
iewed or not? The Prime Minister said that he had already reviewed it. If he could go back in time, there were many people who suggested that they wanted to be rich. But the reason for the delay came and he asked again. For those who suggest that a rich person is how much money they have, no one will tell them. So I thought that rich people had 70,000 baht, but some people saw that even 70,000 baht was still in debt. Not rich people want it either. When we cut to 16 years old, we were told that it should only be distributed to vulnerable people. Please help tell me. How much should a vulnerable person be? Let’s talk about it.
For the year 2024, there will be a project. Can it go up or not? The Prime Minister said Must hear from the meeting committee And it hasn’t been said that the timeline will be delayed. Must listen to opinions first and 30 days is still within the conditions. As for the 500,000 million baht loan plan, will it be enacted as an Act or not? We have to wait and listen.
