The private sector has urged the government to postpone a fuel tariff increase in September to help alleviate financial burdens for businesses affected by rising fuel prices.
Sangchai Theerakulwanich, president of the Federation of Thai SMEs, stated that authorities should find a way to set a ceiling for the fuel tariff to reduce the financial burdens for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). He said that business owners could not afford to pay higher electricity costs while also having to cover rising material and labor expenses.
