Thaksin Prioritises Handouts to Boost Economy
Picture courtesy: Thai Rath Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has reaffirmed his commitment to the digital wallet scheme, aiming to complete the latest instalments by the end of April, a timeline poised for the third phase of handouts. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to invigorate Thailand's economy. While campaigning in Si Sa Ket for Wiwatchai Hotrawaisaya, the Pheu Thai candidate for the Chief of the Provincial Administrative Organisation (PAO), Thaksin detailed the coalition's plans at Wat Prang Ku School, emphasising the digital wallet scheme's role in economic stimulation. The scheme promises direct cash injections, with the Prime Minister's father confirming that 10,000 baht payments will be distributed, starting with those over 60 years old on Monday, followed by the 16-60 age group in March and April. Thaksin underscored the necessity of these handouts as a stimulus strategy, affirming that the government's promises will be fulfilled. Beyond economic measures, Thaksin highlighted education reform as a crucial focus. He proposed using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance educational systems nationwide. He also suggested that revenue from legalised online gambling could finance improved learning resources, including hiring reputable expatriate teachers and integrating technology into schools. "This can be as simple as using mobile phones to expand children's perspectives, much like other countries do," Thaksin mentioned, illustrating his vision for modernised education. Addressing the broader agenda, Thaksin pointed to economic recovery as the government's main objective, with plans to bolster national income in its first two terms should the party secure victory again in 2027. Reflecting on past challenges, Thaksin said, "In 2001, my administration dealt with an economic crisis affecting all societal levels. This current situation, with grassroots people in debt and struggling, demands urgent resolution. It's imperative I contribute to solving these issues." Reassuringly, he shared conversations with his daughter, the current Prime Minister, detailing an action plan: "This year, we're committed to improving the economy and reducing or entirely eradicating personal debts. By the next year, we want individuals financially comfortable, akin to prosperity under my previous leadership." Confident in Pheu Thai's prospects, Thaksin believes the party's economic strategies will yield prosperity and wealth reminiscent of his tenure as Prime Minister, aligning with his vision of improved national wellbeing and financial stability, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-01-27 -
