Summary
Thailand faces a fiscal reckoning by 2028 as recurring costs swallow almost every baht raised through taxation. People’s Party MP Associate Professor Dr Anusorn Thamjai warns the ฿3.788 trillion budget exposes rising debt, weak revenue and shrinking investment. With public debt nearing its 70% ceiling, he demands deep spending cuts and action against ฿100–200 billion in annual corruption.
Thailand faces a severe fiscal squeeze by 2028 unless the government cuts waste and restructures national spending. Recurring expenditure is now almost equal to annual tax revenue. As a result, little remains for investment, economic measures or emergencies. Rising debt interest is tightening the budget further.
