The Finance Ministry will put plans to fix or streamline 8 state enterprises before the Cabinet on 22 September. The list includes MCOT, the Govt Lottery-type agencies, the Bangkok Dock and the Liquor Organization. The SCSP says it did not propose merging MCOT with Thai PBS, citing different structures and legal limits. Details of MCOT's plan will wait until after the Cabinet decision. For a typical Thai SME, there is no action to take; the main relevance is if you supply, sell to, or advertise with these agencies, such as the Liquor Organization or the Agricultural Market Organization.
