Filed at 01 : 17 pm (THLD time)


BANGKOK Mar 21 (The Nation) -- The Bt115 billion budget set for debt repayment in the total fiscal 2002 budget of Bt973 billion has worried Finance Minister Somkid Jatusripitak who said this morning that the government might face difficulities in collecting enough revenue to meet the target.

The 2002 expenditure budget, which starts on Oct 1 this year, carries a deficit of Bt150 billion, equivalent to 2.7 per cent of GDP, as the revenue budget is only Bt823 billion.

"I hope the spendings will be adequate to stimulate the export, tourism and rural sectors," he said, adding that the government will also introduce measures to curb imports shortly.
