Mr Anutin, appointed prime minister in March, prepares to tackle the energy crisis and broader economic challenges with his new cabinet. The private sector hopes to see the economic cabinet functioning as a truly united team, breaking down silos between ministries, making decisions swiftly, and remaining alert to global competition. The private sector is also urging the government to revitalise the real economic foundation -- particularly the agricultural sector, which continues to face structural challenges. Nuttawut Wongyaowarak, vice-president for research at Globlex Securities, said energy prices and the efficient management of oil reserves are the major challenges facing the new government. However, the market still needs to see stimulus measures that could boost economic growth," Mr Nuttawut noted.
