The government is considering new relief packages for both individuals and businesses as a part of a new economic stimulus package, against the backdrop of Thailand's third wave of Covid-19 outbreak.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed all economic agencies concerned, including the Finance Ministry and the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), to speed up assessing the impact of the Covid-19 restrictions on all sectors, which is required before details of these relief packages can be mapped out, said Traisuree Taisaranakul, deputy government spokeswoman, on Sunday.
