Thai businesses call for doubling of Covid co-payment scheme
Thailand’s private sector called on the government to double the credit amount of the co-payment scheme on Wednesday to inject more liquidity into an economy made sluggish by the third wave of Covid-19.
The Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB) held a meeting to assess the Thai economic situation.
The government should provide more accessible policies to boost public spending and speed up the vaccine roll-out, especially to revive the country’s tourist destinations, said Payong Srivanich, chairman of the Thai Bankers’ Association.
