Commerce Minister Kittiratt Na-Ranong said on Wednesday he will ask the Bank of Thailand to put on hold its plan to raise the repurchase rate to curb inflation.

Mr Kittiratt, the deputy prime minister for economic affairs, said a delay in an increase in the key policy rate would allow the government to implement its promised policies and to accomplish the planned targets.

He was delivering a speech on “Mobilising the economy under the Yingluck government” to a seminar on “Two trillion baht income from tourism: A challenge of the new government”.

Inflation has to be under control first. Once that is done, interest rate should be at the current level for now so that the private and foreign investment won't be affected. Obviously, PT's policies should spur domestic consumption. I am a small entrapreneur. No 'populist policies' are meant for me. If doemstic consumption goes up, that will be a great help for people like me. Let this government work for everyone, and not for so called POOR ONLY. Lower middle class, middle class and upper middle class people are under tremendous monetary pressure in these days. We all need money in our pockets, and thus government policies should be for everyone's benefit.
