Guidelines on community-level spending to be ready mid-May

He explained that Bt600 billion of the Bt1-trillion loan taken by the Finance Ministry will be used for cash handouts and public health, while the remaining Bt400 billion will be spent on economic recovery measures. 
“We need to create jobs that generate income in communities, as many people have already returned to their hometowns,” he said. “Therefore, we have set up this committee to come up with guidelines on how the Bt400 billion budget can be spent to revive the economy.” 
He added that the guidelines will focus on developing agriculture, water resources and infrastructure to boost the local economy. 
“We will also develop tourist attractions in communities nationwide to attract tourists once the situation returns to normal,” he said. “We will also develop digital platforms and logistics, as well as train personnel at the community level.”
He said he expects the guidelines to be proposed to the Cabinet by mid-May and the projects to start from June.
