BANGKOK, March 28 (Reuters) - Thai Prime Minister ⁠Anutin Charnvirakul said on Saturday that he expected the country to have a new ⁠government next week, with a list of new cabinet members to be submitted ‌for royal endorsement on Monday.

The new government will move quickly to deliver a policy statement to parliament so it can begin its work, Anutin told a press conference.

The policy statement is expected to take place around April 7-9, and ​will be mostly based on the election promises of Anutin's ⁠Bhumjaithai Party, including the next phase ⁠of a consumer subsidy scheme, deputy party leader Siripong Angkasakulkiat told Reuters.
