The Cabinet approved 1,206.48 million baht from the FY2026 contingency reserve for the student loan fund (กยศ.) so loan payments to about 141,838 borrowers continue. The fund had said it faced a liquidity risk, and its request for 21,900 million baht was met with only 5,100 million. The government also told the fund to push harder on debt repayment. For a business owner, the direct effect is limited, but it may mean more staff or family members can keep studying, and the fund is pressing for loan repayments.
