Finance Ministry seeks Bt70bn more for rice pledging scheme: TDRI

The Finance Ministry plans to ask the government to allow additional borrowing of Bt70 billion to support the rice pledging scheme, according to the Thailand Development Research Institute.

 

Nipon Poapongsakorn, a distinguished TDRI scholar, said Thursday that a letter from the ministry has explained to the government that the ministry has to have another Bt70billion budget for the rice pledging scheme. He urged the government to reveal full information on the rice pledging scheme.
