The Prime Minister declined to comment on the policy interest rate, leaving the matter to the Ministry of Finance to discuss, and declined to answer whether or not to continue the "Half-Half" scheme. He confirmed that there are economic stimulus measures to fill the pockets of the people. He asked for encouragement after the protests, and reiterated that he would work to his full potential. Prime Minister Paethongtarn Shinawatra said about the current policy interest rate that it is a financial matter. She asked them to discuss it further. She would rather not answer this question. After the government gave 10,000 baht to vulnerable groups, there was a more positive sentiment towards the government. Before the digital wallet project in phase 2 started, there were calls for a half-and-half project. Will it be possible? The Prime Minister said that he did not dare to say. In fact, there are many economic stimulus policies. There are many in the bag. But they will be gradually released. Which must be consider ed the current political situation. And whichever issues are beneficial to the people, we will definitely prioritize them. And will assign the relevant ministries to explain the policies to be well informed. Therefore, please wait a little bit. Do not rush. When asked how the Prime Minister would communicate with the protesters, who are currently preparing to hold a political rally despite not having been in office for long, the Prime Minister said, 'It's the same as before. I'll work first. I'll put my full effort into my work and just ask for their support.' .- Source: Thai News Agency
