"Household debt"

Thai household debt in the first quarter of 2021 reached 90.5 per cent of GDP, the highest among developing countries, according to Siam Commercial Bank’s Economic Intelligence Centre (EIC).

In a bid to ease the burden on people, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha urged the Cabinet on Tuesday to come up with measures to ease debt problems both in the short and long term.

Digital Economy and Society (DES) Minister Chaiwut Thanakhamanusorn has revealed progress on moves to widen internet access for Thais on low income.
