Thailand has announced an accelerated rollout of its ‘digital wallet’ handout program, aiming to provide 145 billion baht ($4.2 billion) to vulnerable groups earlier than planned. This move, part of a larger 450 billion baht stimulus package, seeks to jumpstart the country’s economy, which has been sluggish in recent years.
Thailand’s newly appointed Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has pledged to prioritize economic stimulation and continue the policies of her predecessor, Srettha Thavisin. She will focus on tackling debt restructuring, supporting small businesses, and boosting the agricultural and tourism sectors. The new government will also review and potentially adjust the digital wallet scheme, which aims to distribute 10,000 baht ($295) to 50 million Thais.
