Thailand's Digital Wallet Sitmulus: Handout Scheme for Vulnerable Citizens
Thailand's Financial Handout Initiative
The Thai government has enacted a new digital wallet initiative as part of its economic recovery strategy. The plan involves a substantial financial stimulus amounting to 450 billion baht, targeting vulnerable demographics within the nation.
Details of the Handout Scheme
- Distribution of 10,000 baht to each registered individual.
- Encouragement of local spending within six months of registration.
- A total of 45 million individuals targeted for assistance.
Current Registration Status
So far, approximately 36 million individuals have signed up for the program, including many from the vulnerable segments of society.
Financial Ministry representative, Lavaron Sangsnit, noted that nearly 3 million among these registrants lack smartphones. This poses challenges in accessing the digital wallet system.
