| Abstract | Facing the economic crisis starting in mid 1997, Thailand has launched various kinds
of measures and frequently revised fiscal policies. To recover from this crisis, the Thai
government and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which provides a rescue package to
help revive the economy, initially agreed to run a surplus budget. Unfortunately, it caused an
even more sluggish economy. Since this policy failed to succeed, the Thai government with
the approval with the IMF finally had to adjust the budget target to a deficit in February in
1998. To meet the new budget target the Ministry of Finance has conducted four budget
adjustments to boost the Thai economy in the fiscal year 1998.
This research is conducted to review the current practice of the Thai government
budgeting and to examine Thailand's budget adjustment in the fiscal year 1998 in order to
meet the budget target set by the IMF. This research provides the data displaying the
efficiency of the actual performance comparing to the estimation during the fiscal year 1998.
The proposal to the Thai government' for the improvement of the budget process and budget
forecasting is also included. |
