The survey also revealed that approximately 70 percent of the dues are new, and is a consequence of the economic crisis from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/en\/2021-thailand-real-estate-market-prospects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: 2021 Thailand real estate market prospects<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Survey participants claimed that residents failed to make their loan or credit repayments. Around 72 percent of participants blamed the weak economy, 60 percent said that had insufficient income compared to expenses, while 55 percent mentioned decreased earnings.<\/p>\n<p>Despite last year\u2019s household debt being the highest in 12 years, more than 75 percent were legitimate lenders.<\/p>\n<p>Polwichai proposed the government to implement further stimulus measures to help disentangle the household debt crisis, as well as aid self-employed citizens to prevent delayed loan repayments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thai household debt has risen to
