Members of Parliament in Thailand have approved two bills which will allow the government to borrow funds to put together a new stimulus package worth THB800bn (USD23.5bn).
The funds - which are due to be raised via the country's local money markets - will be added to the government's "Invest for Strength" stimulus programme, which is estimated to be worth around THB1.4 trillion (USD41bn).
The cash will be released over a three-year period, with the majority used to fund public development and improvements to infrastructure.
Opposition leaders strenuously objected to the legislation, and eventually walked out in protest.
