Raft of stimulus measures being mulled

The new economic stimulus measures currently under review cover exports, tourism, tax base expansion and agricultural development, as well as soft loans to mitigate the impacts of a stagnant economy, says Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira.

Mr Pichai said yesterday a meeting of the economic stimulus committee would be convened soon to review plans in line with the prime minister's directive to address US President Donald Trump's tariff policies and the recent adjustment of Thailand’s economic outlook by Moody's.

He said the government must reconsider how to use the remaining 157 billion baht in the economic stimulus budget, including how to proceed with the digital wallet policy.
