BANGKOK: Thailand's cabinet on Tuesday approved a 100 billion-baht ($2.8 billion) soft loan scheme where funds would be lent to commercial banks so they could on-lend to borrowers at below-market rates, a deputy finance minister said.

The programme is aimed at helping smaller businesses obtain loans, Paopoom Rojanasakul told reporters after a cabinet meeting.
