China News Service, Bangkok, August 11 (Xinhua) According to a report by Thai media Bangkok Post on the 11th, the Thai Ministry of Commerce will launch a price reduction campaign for goods and services in the next three months to reduce the burden on businesses and the public.

Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce Puttan said that Thai Prime Minister Setthakul has instructed the Ministry of Commerce to cooperate with relevant departments to help small and medium-sized enterprises reduce their expenditure burden and help people reduce their living costs. The activity will last for three months, from August 20 to November 20.

Putin has held discussions with at least 150 private operators to identify measures to reduce prices of goods and services.

The first measure is to reduce the rent of small shops and market stalls, help merchants promote their business online, and reduce shipping costs with the help of Thailand Post. The second measure is to open new shopping areas in provinces to increase available sales space and meet customer shopping needs. The third measure is for the Ministry of Commerce to cooperate with large manufacturers and wholesalers to carry out discount activities across the country to reduce the cost of living for the people.

Putan said that the Ministry of Commerce will organize regular seasonal promotional activities in the future. At present, 150 large private operators and chambers of commerce have pledged to support this activity, including the Thai Chamber of Commerce, the Federation of Thai Industries, the Thai Retailers Association, the Thai Wholesalers and Retailers Association, and the Thai Bag Rice Association.
