Anutin revives economic Cabinet meeting, first session expected in two weeks
PM Anutin revives the economic ministers’ council, with the first meeting expected within two weeks to drive policy and launch the Let’s Go Halves Plus scheme.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on Wednesday that he will revive the economic ministers’ council system, with the first meeting expected within two weeks.
He said the council would meet every Monday afternoon once the system is reintroduced. The meetings will focus on key economic issues to ensure the government can make systematic and continuous economic decisions.
Anutin added that he has instructed Cabinet members to accelerate meetings of their respective ministries to hand down policies to permanent officials. Ministers will also be required to prepare Cabinet agenda items related to their portfolios.
“Today, the ministers can start working officially with full authority because the government has delivered its policy to Parliament,” Anutin said. “I have instructed ministers to meet with officials at their ministries, deliver policies, and hold group meetings.”
On his government’s urgent economic stimulus scheme, “Let’s Go Halves Plus”, Anutin confirmed it would be launched this month.
He said the Cabinet would deliberate the scheme next week, with public registration to open by mid-month. Funding has been prepared from both the fiscal 2026 budget and the central emergency fund to support the programme.
