Bangkok: Finance Minister has announced his upcoming travel to the United States next week to engage in discussions focused on tariff negotiations. This strategic move is part of the government's broader effort to enhance international trade relations and address key economic challenges.
According to Thai News Agency, the government is also proactively working through the National Housing Authority to organize a special rental promotion aimed at assisting low-income individuals by offering affordable housing solutions. This initiative targets four specific groups, providing them with a rental discount ranging from 200 to 500 baht per month until the end of 2025. The promotion is available to those who enter into lease agreements between July 1 and August 31, 2025.
The four target groups eligible for this rental discount include senior citizens aged 60 and above, disabled individuals with a registered disability card, state welfare cardholders, and new graduates entering the job market. Each group has specific income criteria that must be met to qualify for the promotion. Eligible participants must be Thai nationals, not currently under contract with the National Housing Authority, and adhere to other specified conditions.
Mr. Anukul Prueksanusak, the deputy government spokesman, emphasized that the initiative aims to alleviate housing distress by offering standard accommodations at reduced rental prices. He explained that the right to lease is limited to one person per contract, with a maximum family size of four people per unit. Additionally, requirements for lease signing include various identification and income verification documents.
The government is committed to ensuring that affordable housing is accessible to low-income groups, thus aligning with their financial capabilities and minimizing any potential financial burdens. This initiative is also expected to stimulate the economy, particularly in the real estate and construction sectors, contributing to income distribution and promoting the grassroots economy.
