**Bangkok, Thailand:** Thailand’s new Prime Minister, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, has announced a massive economic stimulus package worth 450 billion baht ($A20 billion) in her first address to parliament. This move aims to jumpstart the Southeast Asian nation’s economy, the second-largest in the region.
Paetongtarn, a political newcomer, assumed office after her predecessor, Srettha Thavisin, was removed by a court ruling in August. Her cabinet was sworn in shortly after.
The stimulus package is the centerpiece of her government’s policy agenda and is expected to be a major focus for her administration.
