A survey conducted last week has highlighted low public confidence and little sympathy for the government's handling of the energy and financial crises.

A majority of respondents expressed limited confidence in key ministers tackling economic issues, said the National Institute of Development Administration (Nida).

Surveying 1,310 people nationwide between Tuesday and Wednesday, Nida found nearly 47% of respondents reported no sympathy for Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s administration.

Findings showed uncertainty dominated perceptions of three external ministers.

Over 77% had limited or no faith in Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas.

Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun and Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow faced similar disapproval, with 63% and 60% respectively expressing low confidence.
