"goal"

THE GOAL of achieving a balanced budget is likely to be postponed should the new coalition government aggressively implement welfare policies and push economic stimulus packages, an official at the Finance Ministry said.

The government aims to increase public awareness of national corruption to 50 per cent by 2021, by integrating His Majesty the late King’s sufficiency-economy theory into the third phase of the national anti-corruption strategic plan, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on the occasion of “International Anti-Corruption Day” yesterday.
