On October 27, 2026, Deputy Prime Minister Pakorn Nilprapan discussed progress on the early retirement scheme for general civil servants. A meeting with relevant agencies is scheduled for October 29, 2026, before the proposal goes to the Cabinet, though not at the very next Cabinet meeting. Regarding compensation, Pakorn indicated it would likely not exceed 15 times the salary. The age criterion is set at 50 and above, but could be adjusted down to the 40-year-old range if too few people apply. He emphasized the goal is to enforce this measure starting in 2027.
