Government Studies Plan to Merge Duplicate Agencies
The Thai government plans to merge duplicate agencies starting September, beginning with the Government Savings Bank, while studying the dissolution of the National Office for Coordination of National Reform Strategy and Reconciliation.
Deputy Prime Minister Porkron Nilpraphan announced on July 27, 2569 at Government House that the consolidation of redundant government agencies will begin this September, starting with the Government Savings Bank. The National Office for Coordination of National Reform Strategy and Reconciliation (NCRSR) has not yet been dissolved and is currently under study. Beyond the NCRSR and the Government Savings Bank, the government is targeting 3-4 additional state enterprises that have failed performance evaluations for years and have not been merged. The list of specific state enterprises will be disclosed by the Office of the Civil Service Commission. When asked about the impact on civil servants, Porkron stated the government would minimize negative effects and provide alternatives such as transfers to other agencies. The entire process is expected to take considerable time to complete.
