In an interview with Dailynews Talk 2023 on Wednesday, Mr Srettha expressed his feelings about the economy which he says is beset by crisis: "Which I think everyone is well aware of," he said. The prime minister added he was particularly concerned about low wages, "in addition to a raft of other problems." "The FTA is a goal which [the government] regards as more important than the infrastructure improvements," Mr Srettha said.
