Finance Ministry to reduce period for handouts
The Finance Ministry could shorten the six-month period for handing out 5,000 baht a month to informal workers affected by the outbreak if the coronavirus pandemic can be contained before September, says the head of the Fiscal Policy Office (FPO).
The government will redirect the budget to help other groups in dire need if that is the case, said Lavaron Sangsnit, director-general of the FPO.
