"Pichai" admits that the 10,000 baht in digital wallets, Phase 2, will not be received this year. More than 30 million registered individuals are waiting to receive the money next year. Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira admitted that the second phase of digital wallet payments for over 30 million registered individuals will not be completed within this year. "It's unlikely to be in time. We'll look at continuity, look at 2-3 stories at the same time, whichever is best," said Mr. Pichai. Mr. Pichai said that the factors that prevented the disbursement of money this year were because many things had to be considered. For the budget that was not disbursed in this project, what would it be used for? Was it an investment project or not? Mr. Pichai said that that matter was important in order to strengthen the country, but the management of money had to be organized for important things that would give continuous and rapid results.
