Cabinet backs 2nd debt plan revision

The cabinet on Tuesday approved a second revision of the public debt management plan for fiscal 2026, adjusting borrowing and repayment targets to better reflect current economic conditions, budget implementation and government priorities.

Government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek said the revised plan aims to ensure that debt management remains aligned with changing economic circumstances while maintaining fiscal discipline and financial stability.

Under the revised framework, new borrowing was increased by 221.22 billion baht, from 1.259 trillion baht to 1.481 trillion baht. Meanwhile, the existing debt management plan was reduced by about 23.96 billion baht, from 1.644 trillion baht to 1.620 trillion baht. The debt repayment plan was also revised upward, rising from 533.53 billion baht to 561.19 billion baht, an increase of more than 27.66 billion baht.
