"Akaniti" showcases achievements over 73 days in rescuing the economy from the brink, preparing to launch the "10 Plus" strategy to boost income, cut expenses, and clear debt.
On 14 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Mr. Akaniti Nitithanprapas, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, speaking as part of the Bhumjaithai Party economic team, revealed Thailand’s economic direction. In just 73 days under Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s leadership, the economy was halted from plummeting into crisis and successfully steered away from risk. He announced the upcoming "10 Plus Economy" policy to foster sustainable growth and distribute income across all groups.
Mr. Akaniti emphasized that despite initial economic recovery, volatility remains high. The party proposes concrete measures to reduce living costs, including the "Half-Half Plus" scheme to continue easing daily expenses for citizens, the community solar project to sell electricity directly to households and cap rates at 3 baht per unit for users consuming up to 200 units, SME tax restructuring to favor small businesses, and incentives encouraging them to enter the system and grow steadily.
He highlighted the key initiative, "Fast Debt Clearance," aimed at helping about one million debtors with debts under 100,000 baht. This program offers debt restructuring, reduction, and extended repayment terms based on each debtor’s capacity. Those with good financial discipline will receive additional interest rate reductions to restore strong financial standing and regain access to new funding. The "10 Plus" policy is not just about increasing the country’s total income but about improving quality of life so everyone has income exceeding expenses, restoring pride in Thailand’s economy.
