Universal basic income or helicopter money is deeply unpopular. That money will not end up in the hands of those who need it.
You dont need "helicopter money". Just create money and spend it on something. Build roads, rails, tanks, whatever.

Lol, UBI is precisely money directly onto the people's hands. Haven't you heard of GiveDirecly NGO?
That’s what a zero interest rate is, money for free.
