The lack of clarity from the beginning in thinking and doing is the problem that makes populist policies. “Digital Wallet” has moved so slowly that it has become unreliable and uncertain whether it will achieve its goals or not? Even recently, Prime Minister Settha Thavisin has asked ministers from all parties in the government to leave. They came to line up to take pictures to announce the progress that the large board had already made. Simply put, they wanted to create an image that all parties supported this policy and were ready to move forward as they had announced. But on the other side, they were still There are people who have different opinions that reflect the picture. BAAC, which is a state bank, will be one of the agencies that will contribute over a hundred thousand million baht to help this project move forward, just like the “Bank of Thailand” by “Sethaput Suttiwatnarue. Phut” The Governor has written a letter to the Secretariat. The Cabinet submitted 4 opinions on the matter, which do not agree with the government continuing with the policy. In summary, because this policy uses a large amount of money, up to 500 billion baht, value for money should be taken into account. It is better used to solve structural problems and raise the economic potential of the country. That is one issue that the Bank of Thailand adheres to in this principle from the beginning. Then, the issue of bringing money from The BAAC should use it in accordance with its objectives. The system used in this project is quite complex and must support a large number of users, so it must be a stable system. Efficiency and security are adequate. Management of risk of leakage or corruption. Responsible agencies should establish concrete mechanisms for risks from leakage or corruption in various steps. This is the National Bank’s duty of responsibility, even though It seems that the government is not interested. Some say that these steps have passed, but it is something that the government must listen to because in the case of the Bank of Thailand, it is different from other agencies that give opinions and proposals by focusing on regulations and legal issues. This cannot be done. If you violate the law, there will be an offense as punishment. At that stage, the government has tried to find ways to avoid breaking the law, such as issuing the 500 billion baht loan act, but has turned to using sources of money that come from the budget. annual and money from BAAC instead is to avoid breaking the law, especially in the area of monetary and fiscal discipline. But the issue of the Bank of Thailand is a matter of the principle of value or not. Because a lot of money should go to other things, it would be better than distributing 10,000 baht per head. This is not wrong or creates conflicts with the government because that is the duty and responsibility of the National Bank to take care of this matter. This directly means the benefit of the nation and the people, no different from the case of “rice pledging” which was released until damage occurred in a few days. A Cabinet will arise in which the Minister of Finance will be changed from the Prime Minister to someone else. As if the Prime Minister does not have to fight himself, he will probably order the new minister to fight himself, whether it is. “Digital Wallet”-“Interest” that has different opinions from the Bank of Thailand. The Governor of the Bank of Thailand must prepare for battle! “Lightning Rod” Click to read the column. More “brave”
