Thailand’s Srettha government pushes ahead with long-delayed digital wallet

Thailand will open sign-ups for its Digital Wallet cash handout on Aug 1. The country’s finance ministers presented more details of the scheme on Wednesday (Jul 24). It will make 50 million Thais eligible for a one-time payment of 10,000 Thai Baht (US$275) to spend on goods in an effort to boost the Kingdom’s flagging economy.
