Finance Permanent Secretary Lawaron Saengsonit, chairing the loan-disbursement screening committee for the 400-billion-baht borrowing decree, said the committee has not yet received the rooftop solar project from the Interior Ministry. According to the latest coordination, the Interior Ministry is rushing to obtain Prime Minister Anuthine Charnweerakul's signature before submitting the proposal to the screening committee, with a meeting anticipated next week.
"The rooftop solar project is awaiting submission from the Interior Ministry," Saengsonit said. "The latest update is that they are preparing it for the Interior Minister's signature. The Prime Minister is returning from abroad and is expected to sign today, and we anticipate the committee will meet next week."
The Thailand Travel Plus programme is currently awaiting details from the Tourism and Sports Ministry for submission to the screening committee. Project details have been finalized, so timing depends on when the Tourism and Sports Ministry is ready to submit. Once formally presented, the committee stands ready to review immediately. The programme will request disbursement of the first 200-billion-baht tranche, intended to provide relief to the public and business operators.
"Thailand Travel Plus must pass through the screening committee first," Saengsonit said. "It has not yet been submitted, and will draw from the first borrowing decree because it is aimed at business relief. When the Tourism and Sports Ministry submits it, we are prepared to consider it without delay."
On Monday, September 14, the Connect the Dots working group will convene to discuss clarifying guidelines for strengthening operations and data integration for investigating and countering economic crimes. The meeting will address both initiatives already underway that require enhanced efficiency and new areas requiring strategic direction.
The Data Bureau, envisioned as a centralized hub for comprehensive financial transaction and asset data linkage, will support investigation of suspicious financial behaviour and help intercept money-laundering networks, call-centre gangs, shell accounts, and scamming operations.
