New coalition urged to give stimulus to small firms

Mr Somchai says the government should incentivise more people to engage in the grocery store sector.

The new government, once formed, is being urged to create additional economic stimulus packages that primarily benefit small operators, rather than large ones.

The new administration should also swiftly move to reignite growth in the wholesale business, which caters to people from all walks of life across the country, according to Somchai Pornrattanacharoen, president of the Wholesale and Retail Trade Association.
