Deputy PM and Finance Minister Ekniti said Thailand has only about 10 billion baht of fiscal room left for borrowing in FY2569 (ends September 2026). He said cutting the oil excise tax could trigger a fiscal crisis, so the government is still weighing it. Other tools used first are the oil fund and refinery margin cuts. Any tax cut would target E20 and B20 fuel, mainly to help sugarcane and cassava farmers. FY2570 fiscal room will be reviewed again. For now, plan fuel costs on current prices and do not budget for an excise cut.
