Thai PM to unveil policies to 'match challenges' facing economy

BANGKOK (Reuters): Thailand's Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin on Tuesday said his cabinet would this week issue a raft of policies to lower the cost of living, suspend farmers' debts, draw more tourists and boost incomes.

Srettha and his 11-party government is presenting its largely populist policy agenda to the new legislature and inherits an underperforming economy struggling from weak demand for Thai exports and lower investor confidence.
