Newly appointed Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith

 

Newly appointed Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith will take office on October 12, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Tuesday.

 

He added that Arkhom will be sworn in before HM the King on October 11.

 

The premier said that Arkhom was the right person for the job in the current situation due to his rich background and knowledge.

 

Arkhom was previously transport minister in the post-coup Prayut Chan-o-cha government. Before that he was secretary-general of the National Economic and Social Development Board, a state think-tank now known as the National Economic and Social Development Council.

 

The appointment of Arkhomwas announced in the Royal Gazette on Monday. He succeeds Predee Daochai, who abruptly quit the post on September 2 after less than a month in office, citing health problems.
