BANGKOK (Reuters): Thailand's Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said on Monday his government would inject 560 billion baht ($15.23 billion - RM71.5 billion) into the economy next year through its signature digital wallet policy.
The stimulus will be driven by the key plank of Srettha's Pheu Thai Party's electoral platform, where each citizen over 16 will receive a 10,000 baht ($282) handout in the form of digital money to use in their local community.
