The government seeks cooperation from retailers and wholesalers to cut product prices to help reduce consumers' expenses and stimulate the economy in the final month of the year. "The ministry has cooperated with retailers and wholesalers to organise various activities to cut living costs since late 2015," she said. "The campaign for this year-end promises special events with discounts as high as 80% for certain items." Mrs Apiradi insisted the discounts will be given to brand-new products, not those currently on sale. Meanwhile, the Public Warehouse Organization and agricultural cooperatives have been instructed to open their spaces for farmers to sell their grain.
