BANGKOK: The government has denied a report that vulnerable people will be the first group to receive a 10,000-baht handout under the digital wallet programme to boost domestic spending.
Under the scheme, all Thais over the age of 16 years with a monthly income of less than 70,000 baht and bank deposits lower than 500,000 baht will receive 10,000 baht via a digital wallet to spend at local businesses.
