According to a report by Matichon Online, Paradorn Prisnanantakul has provided insights into the government's approach to the 2026 fiscal budget. The primary objective of the upcoming budget is to strengthen fiscal discipline and manage national expenditures more effectively. A key focus of this strategy is to reduce the budget deficit, ensuring that the country maintains a sustainable economic path.
