the Finance Ministry proposed to increase the
salaries of civil servants with university degrees by 64%
If implemented, the minimum salaries for civil servants with bachelor's degrees would
be raised from THB9,140 (US$297) a month now to BHT11,680 and increased again
to BHT15,000 at the beginning of 2013. Taken together, these moves are likely to
boost long-term growth in Thai consumption.
