Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak has praised the “Chim-Shop-Chai” (Eat-Shop-Spend) scheme for its success in stimulating the grass roots economy and has instructed the Finance Ministry to consider launching a third round before the end of this year.

 

While delivering the Government’s Village Fund policy, at a meeting with officials from eight upper northern provinces today, the deputy prime minister in charge of economic affairs fiercely defended the scheme, saying that it is not a wasteful and populist policy, as charged by critics.

 

He insisted that the program has been successful in promoting domestic tourism by incentivising people to travel and spend, adding that the scheme was never intended to benefit big business.
