According to a post on the Ministry of Finance News page on Facebook, the government is now considering inviting more than 10 million people to join the next round of the 50:50 co-pay purchase subsidy campaign. The 50:50 campaign is an economic stimulation measure introduced by the government in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. The campaign in the current initial phase gives each of 10 million successful applicants a 3,000 baht credit, which they can use at up to 150 baht a day to subsidize half the amount of their general purchases, with only a few exceptions. The campaign is intended also to help small vendors and businesses, and help cut down the general public’s cost of living, while at the same time promoting the use of electronic transactions through the government’s mobile wallet app. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-11-23 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates The 50:50 campaign targets people who have income; it is one of the economic measures introduced in addition to the allowance benefits for 14 million government welfare card holders, and a tax discount campaign on eligible purchases.
