Play
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra Monday defended her finance minister, Kittiratt NaRanong, for his admittance that he had lied about the country's economy in a bid to boost confidence.
Yingluck said she believed that Kittiratt, who is also deputy prime minister in charge of the government’s economic team, had good intentions towards the country in making such a remark last week.
However, she denied having allowed Kittiratt to make “white lies sometimes” about the country’s economic figures.
