The Finance Ministry's loan-review committee approved extending the Thai Chuay Thai Plus 60/40 scheme (phase 2) for two months, October–November. The ministry says it will use existing budget, not reallocate from the 200bn-baht energy-transition loan tranche, and will submit to cabinet on 22 Sept. The State Welfare Card 2026 starts 1 Oct, with results on 30 Sept; people who miss the welfare card can fall back on Thai Chuay Thai Plus 60/40. For SME owners who sell to lower-income customers, expect this demand support to continue through November, but confirm cabinet approval before relying on it past September.
