THE GOVERNMENT WAS TODAY (Apr. 12) pressed to tell how long a sum of 172.3 billion baht in planned borrowing from the Bank for Agriculture & Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) to finance in part their 10,000-baht digital wallet project could be completely repaid.

I'm sure a cozy back room deal will be made.

Poor old Thailand has gone broke, just admit it !  that's about 5.5 billion USD,

But I do know a man that, has that for loose change, from tax payers money.

 

Loose change? I don´t know how you think here. Please elaborate. As I am aware the richest family in Thailand have about 35 billion USD. Are you suggesting that almost 14% of that amount would be loose change?

Last count was $43 billion, and then there are all the 'Assets'  1 years interest would easy cover 5 billion IMO. But you'd have to actually care about the populace to give that away, ......

Do you see rich people in other countries doing that? So, just a poor shot on Thai people again.

This is insane.  The government is taking a third from this year's budget, a third from next year's budget and borrowing a third from BAAC with no plan on how it will repay the loan.  The loan for Yingluck's corrupt rice pledging scheme 10 years ago has still not be fully repaid, as far as I know. 

 

The economy not in crisis as PM Srettha-Thaksin claims.  It just suffers from chronic structural problems due to long term mismanagement and failure to make it competitive by reforming education, investing in R&D and a lack of investment in worthwhile infrastructure (not land bridges).  

 

So after resorting to such ruinous means to fund the thing, what recourse will there be, if the economy enters another real crisis - another crippling loan from BAAC, allocations from future budgets after 2026?
