Khon La Khreung Plus ends with Bt84bn spent, lifting GDP by 0.2%
The Finance Ministry says spending under Khon La Khreung Plus topped 84.19 billion baht before the scheme ended at 11pm on December 31, 2025, adding about 0.2% to GDP.
Pongnakorn Pochakorn, assistant spokesperson for the Finance Ministry, said preliminary figures showed spending under the Khon La Khreung Plus scheme reached 84.19 billion baht before it ended at 11pm on December 31, 2025. A total of 19.76 million people used the scheme.
The total comprised two parts:
- Public spending: 42.81 billion baht, including 41.25 billion baht spent at general participating shops and 1.55 billion baht spent via food delivery platforms.
- Government co-payment: 41.37 billion baht, including 39.89 billion baht co-paid for purchases at general participating shops and 1.47 billion baht co-paid via food delivery platforms.
As of 11pm on December 31, 2025, there were 999,350 verified participating merchants, including 89,799 food and beverage outlets accepting payments through food delivery platforms.
Pongnakorn said the results reflected strong cooperation from the public and businesses, helping to boost consumption nationwide.
He added that the scheme channelled about 84.19 billion baht into the economy and was estimated to raise economic growth by around 0.2% in 2025 compared with a scenario without the programme.
He said stronger purchasing power also helped small businesses improve cash flow, with broader spillover effects on production, trade, employment and transport, providing continuing support for the economy into early 2026.
