webfact Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Five panels tasked with rejigging economy By THE NATION In its first meeting on Monday (April 13), the Covid-19 Situation Administration Centre’s advisory committee set up five sub-committees to come up with plans to solve economic problems. The advisory panel comprises representatives of the private sector. The first sub-committee will focus on improving the conditions of soft loans from banks to businesses, while the second will come up with plans for some businesses to resume operations as well as manage the flow of the logistics system. The third sub-committee is tasked with coming up with plans to provide relief to farmers, while the fourth will help small- and medium-sized businesses access loans. The last sub-committee has been given the job of drawing up a plan to revive the economy once the crisis is over. The new panels have been given a week to come up with the plans and submit them with the National Economic and Social Development Council, which will then forward them to the Cabinet.

RJRS1301 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) We used to have a saying: to look like governemt is working, we need to form anadvisory/committee or inquiry, task it to report in 12 months, by which time things had been forgotten One wonders who or what each committee reports to, timelines, terms of reference, abilty to call for evidence and submissions Edited April 14, 2020 by RJRS1301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great timeline one week, they gather a lot factual information, collate and rewrite drafts, very efficient Must be an abundance of skilled economists available, and demographers also social researchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably still tied up at the same berth I saw it at 8 years ago! They could lease it to another country that is short of amusement parks and big boys toys......it's just a short tugboat tow to a dozen other countries.

When I went nearly twenty years ago on Chidren's Day, Thais were allowed on but I was refused because I was a foreigner. When I pointed out to the navy staff who prevented me boarding that the half-a-dozen people in front of me who had just boarded were Chinese, I was told, "Chinese OK."
