The Budget Bureau would then draft a Budget Transfer Act for the government to submit to parliament for approval. For fiscal 2026, total investment expenditure amounts to 861 billion baht. As of March 24, 58% (about 508 billion baht) has already been contractually committed, leaving 41% (353 billion) uncommitted. The government allocates around 4.7 billion baht per month to the state welfare card programme.
