Will study budget preparation which is within the authority In particular, the preparation of the budget for 2025 is the government's duty to prepare 100%, such as budgets related to disaster warnings. that has overlap between Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation and Ministry of Digital Economy and Society It is an example of the commissioner working proactively.

Therefore, I would like to ask the question back to the government: How do you know that people will lead?

Mr. Natthaphong said that it is a problem that we have heard about every year. But this year might be special: the budget for the digital wallet project.
