Thailand's King Endorses Anutin's New Cabinet, Royal Gazette Says
The King’s endorsement allows the 35-member cabinet to be sworn in and supports the government’s plan to deliver a policy statement with economic and security measures.
- On Tuesday, Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn endorsed Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's new 35-member cabinet, according to a notice in the Royal Gazette. The approval clears the way for ministers to be sworn in before the king.
- Anutin leads a 16-party coalition backed by around 292 lawmakers following the Bhumjaithai Party's Feb election victory, giving him decisive parliamentary strength. This majority stoked investor optimism about political stability.
- Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas, Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun, and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow retain their posts. Former Industry Minister Akanat Promphan replaces Auttapol Rerkpiboon as energy minister.
- Anutin plans to deliver a policy statement to Parliament, likely on April 7, once cabinet members are sworn in before the King. The statement will outline economic stimulus and debt management plans.
- Rising fuel prices and the Middle East conflict, involving Israeli and Iranian tensions, impact Thailand's growth outlook. Economists trimmed projections as these tensions affect exports and tourism, the country's two vital economic engines.
