BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's military government will lend farmers and their children a combined 11 billion baht ($345 million) (208.07 million British pound) in an effort to fight off loan sharks as high levels of household debt drag on economic recovery, a state bank said on Tuesday.
The plan is part of the junta's measures to revive Southeast Asia's second-largest economy, which was hurt by months of political unrest. The army took power on May 22.
