BANGKOK : Thailand plans to extend property support measures to help boost the recovery of the industry and the overall economy, the finance minister said on Friday.

The measures due to expire this year include a 100 per cent loan-to-value ratio and reduced fees to help increase activity in the real estate sector, which officials said would take longer to recover. While a time frame has yet to be decided, the government would help until the sector recovers and becomes a growth driver, Arkhom Termpittayapaisith told a business conference.

State banks have also been asked to freeze interest rates as long as possible to help the public after a rise in the central bank's benchmark interest rate.The vital tourism sector will play a key role in supporting Southeast Asia's second-largest economy, with foreign tourists expected at 9 million to 10 million this year, Arkhom said.The government also plans to introduce more support measures to ease the impact of soaring energy prices, he said.
