PM holds firm as opposition slams budget bill

The opposition People's Party (PP), meanwhile, criticised the bill for not addressing current economic conditions and affirmed that the party would reject it.

Ms Paetongtarn said the spending proposal was prepared based on the forecast outlook for the economy, which was projected to expand to 2.3-3.3% next year due to increases in domestic spending and private investment, as well as the steady recovery of the tourism sector.

Inflation was expected to hover at 0.5-1.5%, and the current account was expected to have a 2.3% surplus of GDP.
