Kittirat confident 4 decrees to be endorsed by Constitution Court

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Kittirat Na-ranong Monday expressed confidence that the Constitution Court will endorse the constitutionality of four executive decrees on Wednesday.

The court is scheduled to hand down a ruling Wednesday. The decrees were issued to transfer the Financial Institutions Development Fund’s debt to the central bank, to allow central bank to provide soft loans and to allow the government to obtain loans for flood-prevention projects.
Kittirat said he would attend a mobile Cabinet meeting in Udon Thani on Wednesday so Areepong Phucha-oom, the permanent secretary for Finance, would represent him  to hear the ruling.
