The Prime Minister accepted the adjustment of the digital payment format because the people could not wait. He confirmed that even though the digital payment format was adjusted, it was still an economic stimulus as planned. Prime Minister Paethongtarn Shinawatra said about the policy of adding 10,000 baht via digital wallet that Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavachira will be the one to explain all the details. The digital wallet policy, during the campaign, stated that all of them would receive 10,000 baht in one lump sum, but when it was made into a policy, the methods to implement it were different from what was campaigned on. How will this be explained? The Prime Minister admitted that there were definitely differences because when he became the government and started doing it, there were issues of systems that would take a long time to install and we had to wait, but the economy couldn't wait, the people couldn't wait, so we had to make changes for the people first. 'Our goal in creating a digital wallet is to stimulate the entire economy. And stimulating is not enough. We also need to restructure the economy in a digital way. But it comes slower. Therefore, the economy must be stimulated first. But we do not have only one policy. There are many other things that can stimulate the economy. But this is the main urgent one. The results are immediate. Therefore, we want to do it quickly,' said Ms. Paethongtarn. However, in the government of Mr. Settha Thavisin, they will move forward with the digital wallet payment in a single lump sum to stimulate the economy at one time. But when the change will affect the plan to stimulate the economy or not? The Prime Minister said that the plan to stimulate the economy has many phases that need to be stimulated, and the digital wallet project is considered one of the big pictures that we need to stimulate first. But we must not forget the digital structure that must be followed. 'At first, it was not going to be all cash, it was all digital. B ut as I said, the economy cannot wait, so we have to divide it into phases. Digital is still there, but it may change to 5,000 baht or not. We will let the finance minister explain the details,' said Ms. Paethongtarn. However, if there is a distribution, it may not result in an economic storm as the government intended. It may be just a depression. The Prime Minister confirmed that it is definitely an economic stimulus, but the format has changed. He asked the Minister of Finance to explain again and it does not affect the economic stimulus target that has been set because we have divided it into phases. He emphasized that there is not only one policy that will stimulate the economy. Dividing it into phases and doing it in conjunction with other policies will create economic circulation anyway. It is believed that the Pheu Thai Party is using the campaign method first, while the digital wallet has not yet occurred, and the policy has been delayed. Ms. Paethongtarn explained that the delay is because there i s a process to listen to the implementation of the digital wallet system from many parties in order to make it tight and the best.
