This second phase will allow those without smartphones to register at state-owned banks starting next month. Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat stated that the first phase, targeting vulnerable groups, had successfully accelerated cash flow and stimulated the national economy. The 10,000 THB in the second phase will still be distributed in cash, not in digital currency.
