Thai PM Anutin Gets Cabinet Approval, Keeps Core Economic Team

Thailand’s new cabinet has secured royal approval, with Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul retaining his core economic team as the country grapples with rising fuel costs, weakening exports and slowing growth.

King Maha Vajiralongkorn endorsed Anutin’s 34-member cabinet, according to a Royal Gazette statement released Tuesday, clearing the way for the government to formally take office following the Feb. 8 election.
