Finance Minister Ekniti says the government will issue a 400bn baht borrowing decree, to be explained to the House on 26 Aug. The stated aims: support purchasing power, speed up the energy transition (Thailand's current account deficit is about 500-600bn baht from energy imports), and boost investment in Thai businesses and SMEs, including worker skills. The article gives no detail on schemes or eligibility yet. For an SME owner, the practical step is to watch for the specific energy-transition and SME programmes once the decree passes, and to plan for weak consumer spending in the meantime.
