Cash handout raises concernBoosting the economy is the unavoidable task facing all governments coping with the global recession caused by Covid-19. In its current shape, the 45-billion-baht cash handout remains unclear, with some aspects of the measure questionable. One thing that the Finance Ministry emphasised about the scheme is that it is not just free cash handouts. At present, CAESAC insists the 3,000-baht cash handouts will be further modified. With the many questions the measure has provoked, the Finance Ministry faces a tough job redefining its objectives.
