Govt operations proceed smoothly: Kittiratt
Play
Caretaker Deputy Prime Minister Kittiratt Na-Ranong expressed worries on the long-term negative impacts of the "Bangkok shutdown" on confidence in the Thai economy.
After a meeting with three tax-collecting units, he said that government tasks have been expedited as usual, with government units working from several locations. He said that the office relocation was to reduce political tension and simultaneously ensure smooth operations.
While saying that the export sector should benefit from the weakening baht, he insisted that the government would still ensure disbursement under the 2014 budget. He was concerned with the private investment and domestic consumption, as political protests may dent the activities.
