The private sector recommends that the government revise the target group of Digital Wallet in a "targeted" way, focusing only on people in difficulty.
Mr. Issares Rattanadilok Na Phuket, Vice President of the Federation of Thai Industries (F.T.I.), said the Digital Wallet policy of 10,000 baht is considered a good policy by the government. that wants to stimulate the economy through consumption by people who are in great distress due to the current economic crisis Especially those with minimum and middle incomes, workers, various types of vulnerable groups, and unemployed people. Therefore, choosing to use digital money means controlling the type of money used to meet the government's objectives. (goods or services necessary for living) and provide money to circulate to stimulate the economy. The important thing is how to keep money circulating. Distribute to localities and SMEs as much as possible, not too concentrated in products and marketing channels that are monopolized by big capital.
Therefore, I would like to recommend that the government move forward with the Digital Wallet project and review the target group in a "targeted" way. It should focus only on people who are in distress and who really see the importance of using this 10,000 baht because they will have the budget to use in other urgent projects. such as drought problems, and project management should be as transparent and concise as possible, making the most of every baht and every satang Including following up on results from continuous economic stimulation. and communicate and present to society In order to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the project.
“The economy in our country today I have to admit that it is extremely frustrating. We need consumption stimulation. To drive the economy systematically Therefore, I would like to recommend that the government move forward with the Digital Wallet project and review the target group in a targeted manner. Focusing only on people who are in trouble and who really see the importance of using this 10,000 baht. I wish that Thailand can work together to overcome this economic crisis successfully. By using positive energy and reduce political interactions This will aggravate the country even more,” Mr. Isaret said.
