Thanawat points out that the Settha 1 government should be given a chance to do its job, recommending choosing policies that are worth the tax money first.
Mr. Thanawat Phonwichai, President of the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, revealed that Settha Cabinet 1, which includes former ministers with high experience. and new minister that we may not yet be familiar with But when the Prime Minister and each political party has already chosen It is considered a duty of political parties. The government as well as the Prime Minister must oversee and supervise to be able to achieve the planned goal of making the economy recover quickly. with government policy Whether it is digital money 10, 000 baht increasing income for the people Reduce living expenses which I think must be given a chance And even more, the Prime Minister said that he would work without getting tired and had already seen his work in the area. We have to give encouragement and believe that we can do it. As for various populist policies Including increasing wages for the electric train to 20 baht throughout the line and reducing the price of energy, electricity, and oil are things that must be done. because there had been a campaign Because it is correct according to political science. But when looking at the money spent This will cause the government to choose. Projects that are urgent and must be a really worthwhile use of money, such as a digital money project that will stimulate the economy quickly. Money will reach the people immediately, 10,000 baht per person, and there will be no money leaking out of the system. Because it is using 500 baht, 000 million baht which is very high Never before had such a high cost been spent. But for other policies We will have to see what the government will do. such as minimum wage policy Bachelor's degree salary must be discussed with the private sector that pays the labor. How should the structure be adjusted? As well as reducing electric train fares and energy costs, it is believed that the regulatory agencies have now prepared a plan to present guidelines to the government.
However, in terms of reducing energy prices There would not have been a drastic decrease. or has decreased in quantity so much that subsidies or compensation must be used This may require consideration of reducing taxes or reducing payments to the fund. This will allow the price of energy to be reduced to an appropriate level and in line with the cost structure. These may not require spending a lot of money, but that doesn't mean that spending a little money.
For an urgent project that needs to be done is a roadshow to build confidence among foreign countries. Making an agreement to open a free trade area (FTA), pushing for new markets and attracting new groups of tourists from the Middle East, Vietnam, India and Russia to travel to Thailand more.
