BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thailand’s incoming government aims to present a key policy statement to parliament before September 30, so that it can use funds from its current budget to stimulate the economy, an official with the ruling party told Reuters on Tuesday.
Siripong Angkasakulkiat, a deputy leader of the ruling Bhumjaithai Party said the aim is to deploy 50 billion to 60 billion baht ($1.57 billion-$1.89 billion) from this year’s budget.
The final date for the policy statement to parliament, which marks the formal start of any new Thai administration, has not been set, but the government wants it to take place between September 29 and 30, he said.
