The State Enterprise Policy Office (SEPO) handed over to the state public revenue amounting to THB160.07 billion for fiscal year 2021 (October 2020-September 2021), director Pantip Sripimon revealed.
The revenue was collected from state-owned enterprises and businesses in which the Finance Ministry owned shares of below 50 per cent.
