BANGKOK, April 10 (Reuters) – Thailand’s government will approve a package of support measures to mitigate the impact of higher oil prices, the finance minister said on Friday, but he warned that the country has limited ammunition to address its economic problems.
Measures including support for welfare-card holders, fisheries and transport, as well as soft loans for fertilisers, electric vehicles and solar panel installations, will be proposed at a special cabinet meeting on Saturday, Ekniti Nitithanprapas told a briefing.
