"Tin" ordered "Eknat" in the middle of the Cabinet to reduce the price of retail oil in the country to reduce the cost of living, reduce the cost of business, after the price of the world market is lower, and the price of oil in the world is still, pointing to an immediate reduction! And it is not gradually adjusted, and the price of food gives "World" to take care of the policy of continuing the sky-price flag, taking care of the quality of life of the people.

At 12.40 p.m. on July 7, 69, at the Government House, the Prime Minister and the Home Affairs Department revealed that Eknat today has ordered the Energy Department to find a way to reduce the retail price of oil. The reason is that the general public is aware that the global water price has dropped and the price is stable. The domestic retail price deserves to fall. With the cost of living, the cost of the brothers and sisters, and the cost of the entrepreneurs who make a living, the government has a policy to reduce the cost of oil as much as possible.

"I just told the Energy Department as an executive that when global prices went up, we asked people to go up. Now that global oil prices are down, we don't have to ask people to go down, go down immediately, go down immediately, and go down gradually, not gradually, which the Energy Secretary has been given a policy on this."

When asked if there is a time frame to reduce oil prices, the Prime Minister said that there is no time frame for the Department of Energy to work, which has a mechanism for meeting committees such as the Fuel Fund Executive Committee.

"The Prime Minister has already given a policy that prices have to go down. Do you think the Minister will come back and say no to prices?" said Mr. Anin.

When asked how the case of food prices maintained by the Ministry of Commerce had given policy, Mr Tintin said that Suthayi, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Commerce Commissioner had already known this, which had to be implemented. The government had a policy to reduce the cost of people in their daily livelihood. In terms of reducing oil prices, it would have the effect of reducing the prices of goods.

As for the policy of low-cost blue flag products, the price freeze of products must continue. In addition, the Thai Help Thailand Plus program will help with the cost of living reduction.

Reporters asked: If inflation is still high, what should be the economic policy to do? The Prime Minister said that the government must pursue policies. We do not look at one point, but at the quality of life in all dimensions.
