UTCC: GDP boost from 3 packages
Three key economic stimulus packages — the co-payment subsidy scheme, We Win financial aid programme and the Section 33 We Love Each Other programme — are instrumental to shoring up the country’s economy, boosting the country’s economic growth by a combined 1.76 percentage points this year.
Sauwanee Thairungroj, an adviser to the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) council, said the three stimulus packages are estimated to help contribute as much as 301 billion baht in spending, with the retail and wholesale business, lodging and food services enjoying the most benefits.
