Over 20 million people have taken part in the latest instalments of the government's financial relief programmes in the first three days of September, says Pornchai Thiraveja, director-general of the Fiscal Policy Office.
Their participation has generated more than 5.73 billion baht for the economy, he said.
Mr Pornchai was referring to the fifth phase of the "Khon La Khrueng" co-payment scheme, the fifth roll-out of added benefits for state welfare cardholders and the third phase of aid intended for vulnerable individuals.
