Re: Don't things like these cause inflation? Kuwait giving $30K handout.
But realistically, as soon as people hear free money they think big screen TVs, merseeedesss and European vacations (or Thai ;) ). So most will just spend their money on luxury goods, rather than saving it.
The money is also being given per family. So the family of 2 will benefit more, as compared to a family of 8.
The only people I see getting hurt from this are the foreign workers whose wages will remain the same, but everything will become more expensive.
