The 2027 budget bill (3.78 trillion baht) was cut by 11.162 billion baht before a three-day second and third reading debate starting Monday, Sept 7. Biggest cuts: Natural Resources and Environment (down 3.12 billion to 14.37 billion), Defence (down 1.228 billion), Interior (down 912.8 million), Agriculture (down 626.9 million) and Transport (down 626.2 million). Abhisit and People's Party MPs want the 12-billion-baht energy-price relief allocation cut, arguing it overlaps with a 200-billion-baht energy transition loan. For an SME, the practical signal is that ministry spending on projects you may bid for or depend on could shift; watch the final vote before planning around any specific allocation.
