The political extreme “Pridi” endures
Date 01 Sep 2020 Time 19:37
“Pridi Dao Chai” was Minister of Finance, less than a month and said goodbye to the government Because he could not bear the harsh policy
Pridi Daochai, former director and CEO Kasikorn Bank Seat amalgamated by the president of the Thai Bankers Association He did not want to be finance minister from the beginning, but he endured the request of General Prayut Chan-ocha, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense
Including the support of Pridi’s grandmaster Who wanted to sit in the ministerial position, making Pridi unable to refuse Must be forced to sit as Finance Minister with enormous pressure to solve the economic crisis of COVID-19.
Finance Minister Pridi’s position was inconsistent from the start, as he was expected to sit next to the deputy prime minister. To see the economy in general But it seems that he has only sat in the same position as Secretary of the Treasury.
Pridi is also subject to Supatthanaphong Phanmichaow, deputy prime minister. And Minister of Energy That the Prime Minister delegated to supervise another Ministry of Finance To the surprise of investors who expect Pridi to be the Minister of Finance to lead the economy, but should be under the direction of the Minister of Energy.
In managing the economic situation affected by COVID-19 or Prof. Pridi, he does not play a role as he should. In addition, the Commission has created a committee to monitor measures to solve the economic problems that Mr. Pridi should have been sitting on, but the prime minister chose an outsider to become finance minister, subject to the supervision of another class of non-ministerial.
At the same time, Pridi, as finance minister, should hold the post of chairman of the Extraordinary Commission on the 2021 Budget, but the prime minister has left Santi Promphat, vice finance minister, as chairman. So far Causing a clue in Pridi’s heart that he would become the Minister of Finance why
In addition, the work of Pridi and Santi has had serious conflicts. From the appointment of the Director General of the Department of Special Taxes Those who clash in the meeting until having to withdraw the agenda of the cabinet meeting (cabinet)
Pridi and Santi also have problems with the division of labor in the Ministry of Finance. Who worked for a month But there is still no order to divide the work on which department will supervise the Minister of Finance and the Vice Minister of Finance. That should be almost the last straw Curious He decided to resign as Minister of Finance due to negotiations to control various departments of the Vice Minister of Finance
In terms of salvation, Pridi’s economy is under enormous pressure. From the private sector that used to ask the government to do this To get the economy out of the crisis When he sat in power as Minister of Private Finance, he expected Pridi to take care of a variety of matters, but it turned out that when he was in office, he couldn’t do anything like he had imagined.
Also, Pridi had to carry the memory of Dream, Somkid Jatusripitak’s budget team, and the top 4 pediatric teams that had a lot of cheap ideas to drive the economy all the time. Despite some successes and some failures But he is satisfied with the investors. Because having better measures than not thinking about doing anything. Which in this section I must admit is Pridi’s weakness because even if the idea is not supported. Because they have to go through many layers of politics in many places.
When this cunning policy makes Pridi unacceptable, it is the last straw to stir his resignation. Because staying there didn’t help improve the economy AND also ruined the reputation that has built up in the private sector
Pridi is said to have seen the actual economic data when he became finance minister. And financial situation of the country Including various measures That came out like a side bullet Have Mr. Pridi Even to hold the temple
The Thai economy is expected to be absent in 2020, honestly assessed. Because of the state of the government’s economic team, they are still different people, they do this. They believe that the economy is inevitable, growing negatively more than 10%.
National fiscal situation In the state of a bankrupt government, Pridi attended the second cabinet meeting and proposed to the Ministry of Finance to borrow more than 200 billion baht in compensation for the deficit because if the loan would not be exhausted in October 2020, The country has no money to spend.
Gain of the country In crisis From the impact of COVID-19 And by not seriously increasing the efficiency of the country’s revenue collection, in 2020 the country’s revenue collection is expected to be below the target of 4 billion baht and in 2021 is expected to be no less. In the economic state does not recover Political problems are shaking the economy all the time.
The government’s economic team. The more fines, the more wrong they are, the finance minister who should be the head of the government’s economic team. But he had to relegate, there was hardly a line to stand. Let people see that. Where is the Minister of Finance? What did you do to save the country’s crisis?
Such a mistake was not blaming Pridi for quitting. Or not feeling well in poor health at all, suddenly resigned.But he is to blame for organizing an army from General Prayut’s economic team. And the structuring of prof.c., including leaving only senseless pridi Because the Prime Minister gave importance to the political administration before the economic one.
Pridi’s resignation inevitably disrupts the government’s economy. Investors don’t trust the government’s economic team. And it won’t make any outsider dare to become the Minister of Finance because they don’t want to have an end in this position like Pridi.
Thai economy from now on How much will he or she collapse? It is not difficult to evaluate. As long as politics remains canny, the finance minister has been working for less than a month to say goodbye to the government. And investors, who would believe that the government could manage the economy from the brink of the COVID-19 crisis?
