Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Thursday outlined her government's policy agenda to parliament, headlined by plans to give away 450 billion baht ($13.4 billion) in handouts to jumpstart Southeast Asia's second-largest economy.

Paetongtarn’s rise to power, which made her the country’s youngest leader and second female prime minister, represents the revival of the embattled political dynasty that began with her father Thaksin, a billionaire telecoms tycoon, who was elected prime minister in 2001 but ousted by a military coup in 2006.

Thai PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra proposed a 450 billion baht economic stimulus plan, stressing urgency to tackle structural issues and projecting public debt to rise unless growth measures are implemented.
