According to Thai News Agency, Ms. Lalida Periswiwatana, Deputy Spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office, emphasized that under Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's leadership, the government prioritizes resolving household debt issues, a crucial factor in economic recovery and quality of life improvement. This initiative is executed through the "Household Debt Resolution and Justice for the People Fair" project, which involves the Ministry of Justice, government agencies, financial institutions, and partner networks nationwide to provide citizens access to debt mediation, restructuring, and legal assistance.

The Deputy Spokesperson added that the event offered debt mediation services before and after litigation, legal advice, rights and benefits assistance, and justice system access. This comprehensive approach aims to help citizens resolve debt issues, minimize enforcement process risks, and boost economic recovery opportunities.

Ms. Lalida expressed the government's commitment to addressing household debt, as reducing these burdens opens avenues for recovery. The Household Debt Resolution and Public Justice Fair plays a vital role in facilitating debt mediation, restructuring, and fair legal assistance, with plans to expand the initiative for greater economic stability and improved living conditions across all regions.
