BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): The government is getting ready to launch a new three-month economic stimulus package called 'Kon La Khreung' (Let’s Go Halves), which like its previous “eat, shop, spend” scheme, will be operated online.
Danucha Pichayanan, deputy secretary-general of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), said the Cabinet has agreed to earmark Bt45 billion for this scheme, in which the government will provide a 50-per-cent subsidy for products purchased from participating retailers and street vendors from October to December.
