Mr Somkid said the funds will be poured into provincial small-scale infrastructure projects with the aim of creating jobs. The Cabinet is set to consider later this month the framework of a new stimulus package, proposals for which will be submitted by state agencies, Mr Somkid said. The Agriculture Minister expects financial aid to reach farmers affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 from the middle of this month onwards and farmers are urged to quickly register for the financial assistance. The Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) said it is ready to transfer a financial aid of 5000 baht per month over a 3-month period (from May to July) to accounts of 10 million farming households from May 15. The cash handout scheme for farmers will require a total funding of 150 billion baht. The BAAC expects to transfer the fund to 1 million farming households per day. The Social Security Office (SSO) came under fire for slow compensation payments to laid-off workers amid speculation that the office is running short of money. The SSO came out to say that it has a total of 2.03 trillion baht in fund management as it had 1.35 trillion baht in funds and received 675 billion baht in returns from its investments.

  • Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa 2020 Report
    2020 Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa Front Page: Taj Cape Town Somerset Kilimani Nairobi 2 Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa 2020 Foreword Our 12th edition of the Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa brings news of a continuing increase in the chains’ development activity in Africa. The pipeline now sits at 77,896 rooms in 408 hotels, up 3.6 per cent on 2019. Looking back to our first report on Africa’s hotel development pipeline in 2009, there were then just under 30,000 rooms, so today we’re not far off three times that! The growth of the chains’ presence and pipeline in Africa has been an incredibly positive story, and we are proud to be deeply involved with it – in addition to the research work carried out for this report, we have provided professional advice to several of the projects that are included in the data. However, I am writing this foreword (and you are probably reading it) at a time of unprecedented global upheaval, a complete reset. Our industry – and I mean travel and tourism in the widest sense – has been particularly badly affected by the COVID-19 disease. We in the hotel industry have been completely reset, to what we just don’t know yet, but to a state smaller in terms both of supply and demand than we were just a few months ago, that’s for certain. There’s a new game coming when this is all over, and no one yet has any idea what we will be playing with, nor what the rules will be.
