At the end of the year, the trend of year-end promotions to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year is gaining momentum amid the ongoing economic slowdown....

The government is therefore pushing forward with a project to stimulate spending with the "Half-Half" Phase 2 program, hoping to give retirees and those who have fallen behind the curve the opportunity to spend.

Meanwhile, the "Buy and Use" tax deduction program is likely to be the next initiative to drive Thailand's economy forward.

As can be seen, each government initiative has helped diversify income among eligible users.

However, using these programs requires careful consideration of Thailand's financial discipline. When expenses arise, sufficient additional income must be generated, as our country is currently under international scrutiny.

This is because Thailand is entering a period of rising NPL debt each year, and the IMF is closely monitoring our financial status, treasury, and financial stability.

Therefore, any measures adopted must have a rationale. Every use of economic stimulus funds must be transparent to ensure the country moves forward sustainably.

In addition to measures to stimulate spending and reduce bad debt, good governance of the government, government agencies, and other organizations must also be transparent and sincere towards the majority of Thai people and Thailand.
