The Comptroller General’s Department of Finance Ministry reported budget spending reached Bt1.47 trillion in the first half of the fiscal year 2017/2018 (October 1, 2017 till March 31, 2018), or 50.70 per cent of the total fiscal budget of Bt2.9 trillion.

This is lower than the early estimate by 1.59 per cent, the department’s deputy director, Yanee Sangsrichun said on Monday.

She added that Bt1.28 trillion of the spending so far had gone to paying regular expenses, with the next Bt180.81 billion used for the government’s investments – about 31.3 per cent of the total investment budget of Bt577.29 billion for this fiscal year.

”The department has tried to speed up the budget spending to achieve the target. This is part of the drive to stimulate the country’s economic growth,” Yanee said.
