In response to calls for an examination of the system by monetary authorities, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin is urging those who support the government’s 10,000-baht online budget plan to speak up.

Speaking while in Phitsanulok, Mr. Srettha stated that the government intends to launch the game show in February. The scheme’s objective, according to him, is to inject funds into the program and peoples’ hands.

According to Mr. Srettha, if folks want the freebie, they should speak out and not let those who disagree prevent it from happening. He claimed that the government could use some social aid.

Even before taking office, Mr. Srettha used his X bill to mobilize supporters for the digital wallet plan.

That, he insisted that the government consider the plan’s criticism and use common input to improve it so that everyone can benefit from it.

He emphasized the advantages of injecting 560 billion ringgit into people’s pockets as well as how it would boost the fabrication industry and open up job opportunities.

Don’t let those who are opposed to this plan without good reason put a stop to it, he said.” If you agree with me and like this system.” ” Please let us know if you like the plan and are happy with it.”

He continued,” We even need assistance because we are here to job.”

On Saturday and Sunday, Deputy Minister of Finance Julapun Amornvivat refuted reports that the system may be reduced to just the poor and added that it was not being reduced from 560 billion ringgit to 400 billion.

The digital wallet policy committee’s sub-panel seat, Mr. Julapun, stated that his team is also gathering ideas and anticipates finishing them in two weeks before presenting them to the committee.

The committee is expected to review the strategy, including the precise resources and its resources, and decide whether or not to approve the implementation of the digital wallet scheme.

He claimed that the program’s goal is to boost the economy, never to aid people of particular groups. However, in the midst of condemnation, the state needs to carefully consider the plan.

He said it’s probable that the plan will cost less than 560 billion rmb, but more research is needed to make sure it actually works.

According to him, the estimated number of recipients of the release is 54.8 million, not 56 million.
