“Shunlaban” confirms that the 10,000 baht digital wallet will be issued after Q1/67, stressing that the economy is growing slowly and needs to be revived, ready to meet with the NACC to clarify all concerns. Request to all parties not to worry about corruption. Ensure progress as per legal criteria.
13 October 2023 – Deputy Finance Minister Mr. Sulaban Amornwiwat, digital wallet no. 10,000 baht top-up policy by 1/2023 in a meeting of the sub-committee running the digital wallet T said. This is a policy that has already been approved by Parliament. Being a mechanism for driving and revitalizing the economy at large. Since the past, the Thai economy has been weak. Not back to full potential People are struggling The Thai economy has averaged 2% growth over the past 10 years, compared to other countries with high growth. Looking into the past and into the future
In this regard, digital wallet activities pull the economy to grow to its potential. It is a complete distribution of money to the grassroots level. The terms of use are set so that money circulates domestically. And with an emphasis on economic stability, the goal is to improve the standard of living of the people who will expand the Thai economy at a rate of 5% per year.
Mr. Sulapan further said that the digital wallet operation will use people as a mechanism to drive every baud, there will be no leakage, it will reach everyone’s hands and there is no need to worry about corruption issues. The government and the finance ministry are ready to accept any type of study. We have followed the proposals and concerns of the office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), which has set up a committee to consider studying the 10,000 baht digital wallet project. I saw it as a good thing to have a system that was careful, concise, and helpful.
“On learning that the NACC has set up a monitoring and inspection committee, I am ready to meet the NACC in person. Willing to listen Exchange doubts Use NACC’s recommendations to have a common understanding and ensure that actions are as careful as possible. “Though this action is of short duration, the sub-committee will consider it carefully and thoroughly, taking into account the views of the public, private sector and government agencies on all aspects as far as possible,” said Mr. Sulban.
Also, public works and academics have come forward to give their views on such activities in the past. All comments and suggestions should be taken into consideration as a sub-committee, both agreeing and disagreeing. And with the objective of crafting policies carefully and succinctly, the larger group approved the maximum benefit of 10,000 baht before handing it over to the Digital Policy Steering Committee. To present at the next Cabinet (Cabinet) meeting.
In this regard, the subcommittee was asked to follow proper guidelines in accordance with 3 relevant legal principles: 1. Royal Decree on Criteria and Practices for Good Governance 2. Law (Financial Regulation Law) and 3. Budgetary Procedures Law. This should be done with transparency. Manage your budget effectively. Because of this policy it is a public policy aimed at revitalizing the economy. So please don’t look at profit and loss. We will also look at merits, advantages and disadvantages that are not calculated in terms of money. and should be carried out in accordance with government procedures and finally, should be promptly advertised to the public.
I agree that there is some tension over the timeline for the implementation of the project. But it is necessary to stimulate the economy because the 2024 budget spending law will be delayed, the earliest expected effect will be in mid-April 2024, and as long as there is procurement and supply, the positive effects on the economy will be delayed. Exit again. So, this is an opportunity at the beginning of the year. Therefore, it is appropriate to take steps to push money into the system. The digital wallet is expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2024. This is the step to be taken. Because if it is delayed, the positive effects of stimulating the economy will also be reduced.
However, the meeting of the sub-committee will be held from now on. In order to speed up the delivery of results of all activities to complete them often faster than usual. Criteria to be applied, conditions and funding sources will be considered. Database Management Corruption Monitoring and Evaluation of Pre- and Post-Investigation Activities Cooperation should be sought from the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB), NESDB, Budget Office, Ministry of Finance, Comptroller General’s Department and Office of the Civil Service Commission (PSD). See and evaluate the value of the before and after activities.
