The new government will move ⁠quickly to deliver a policy statement to parliament so it can begin its work, Anutin told a press conference.
Anutin apologised to the public for the turmoil caused by the way oil prices have been managed in the first half of March.
The government ‌initially held ⁠prices steady for 15 days to try to ease the burden on the public, but as the war in the Middle East dragged on, it ⁠was necessary to adopt more appropriate measures to mitigate the impact, he said.
The government is planning an oil ⁠tax cut, along with other support measures, to ease the impact of rising ⁠oil prices.
Anutin said Thailand currently has oil reserves for 100 days.
