Mr Anudit said the NESDB had proposed broad measures without going in detail on how much money would be needed for their implementation.

The government attached importance to all sectors - whether agriculture, industry or  fields of occupation -  affected by the flooding.

The minister said the question of whether the government's first-car and first-house buyers assistance schemes aimed to spur the economy would continue would have to be taken for consideration.
