Panel to meet on April 10 to set clear timeframe on remitting 10,000 baht to citizens

At the Wednesday meeting, the panel will also assign agencies concerned to make necessary preparations on their part, Julapun added.

The 10,000-baht digital wallet handout is a flagship policy of the ruling Pheu Thai Party, which claimed in its electoral campaign that the project would be financed through the reallocation of unnecessary spending.

However, after taking office, the Pheu Thai-led government announced it would borrow 500 billion baht to finance the project, leading to economists wondering if such a huge loan would affect the economy. Strong opposition from several sides, especially the NACC, prompted the government to delay the project indefinitely.
