'Pichai' reveals digital money is the main tool to support the new economy, emphasizing low inflation, why are Thai products still expensive? Private sector suggests upgrading Thai tourism, supporting foreigners to own land, long-term investment Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said that moving forward with the 10,000-baht digital money must wait for the new government, once the new cabinet has been formed, to push it forward. Personally, he thinks that digital platforms are essential for the modern economic system because, in addition to digital money helping to stimulate the economy, it also provides benefits in many other ways. Digital wallets are considered a connection between citizens and the government, so the benefits are clearly visible. Although digital money has not yet been used, people across the country are talking more about digital money. Therefore, I am confident that Thais are starting to learn more about digital money. This is another benefit to the country because digital money is an important tool that makes exchange and investment faster and more diverse. It is a necessity in the modern world. Mr. Pichai added that when the economy is still slowing down, it must be quickly resolved to recover. He admitted that the MPC's case of maintaining the interest rate at 2.50 percent is just one measure to take care of economic stability and the inflation problem. While Thailand is different from other countries, inflation is low, so why are goods and raw materials more expensive? The most interesting thing is that Thailand is an export country. It must adjust quickly to support the elevation of conditions, emphasizing environmental care in all aspects so that foreign capital can invest in the country in the long term. The case of the baht continuously appreciating is a movement in line with market confidence, as foreign capital continues to flow into Thailand. It is considered within the controllable framework. It is accepted that the baht is appreciating, both those affected and those who are advantaged. The baht is not yet a cause for much concern. If the Thai government is stable and behaves well, foreign capital will continue to flow into ASEAN. Thailand must adapt and develop quality products. Mr. Chotipat Bijanon, Chairman of the Executive Board of Thai Group Holding PCL, said that the 10,000-baht digital wallet is important in stimulating the economy during this period to circulate in the economic system in many rounds, making the economy better, such as China has promoted Chinese people to travel to China, which is considered to have a very high amount of money circulating in China. Therefore, every investment project and spending will cause more money to circulate in the country if the government pushes digital money forward. For tourism, many Middle Eastern people come to use the services of Thai hospitals. The new government should use this as a quick win measure to generate income for the country, linking it to tourism because they come as families. In addit ion to seeking treatment, they also travel to many cities. Therefore, tourism should be upgraded with several additional measures to generate income for the country. Admit that banks are still concerned about NPL debt problems, causing them to tighten lending and reject loans with insufficient collateral. If any project wins the bid from government measures, such as construction companies, Sulprior, they should be pushed to invest so that the network can move forward. This is something that can be done right now. They also support the idea of ??the Minister of Finance opening the way for foreign investors to have the right to lease and use more land for long-term investment. This is an important thing that will make foreigners confident and will attract more investment. Source: Thai News Agency
