13 Sept 08:16 Key points summarised by AI

The Government Lottery Office (GLO) plans to launch one million new 3-digit (N3) lottery tickets by mid-year, potentially in June.
This initiative aims to combat illegal 3-digit lotteries and resolve the ongoing problem of lottery ticket overpricing.
N3 tickets, priced between 20-50 baht, will be based on the last three digits of the 6-digit first prize lottery, offering a new option for dealers and players.
Current lottery dealers welcome the N3 product, anticipating a boost in income and dismissing concerns about encouraging new gambling, as underground betting is already prevalent.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
