A 3.48 TRILLION BAHT budget for fiscal 2024 will be submitted for cabinet approval next week, a government official said today (Nov.15).

 

Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin is scheduled to chair next Tuesday’s cabinet meeting to pass the 2024 budget bill prepared by the Budget Bureau and then forward it to parliament, according to the official attached to Government House.

 

The 3.48 trillion baht budget accounts for a 9.3% increase amounting to 295 billion baht from that for fiscal 2023 whilst a total of 2.78 trillion baht in state revenue is expected throughout fiscal 2024, thus incurring a sum of 693 billion baht in budget deficit.
