Ministry of Finance Adjusts Allowances for Training Meals and Accommodation

The Ministry of Finance, through the Comptroller General’s Department, has announced an increase in allowances for meals and accommodation for domestic training programs.

Ms. Patricia Mongkhonvanit, Director-General of the Comptroller General’s Department, stated that this revision updates the rates that have been in use since 2013.

This measure is also expected to help stimulate the national economy.
