BANGKOK : Since taking office, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has set his government several challenges, among them to achieve an average economic growth rate of at least 5% per year over five years and stimulating the economy through a handout of 10,000 baht to the people , totalling 5 trillion baht.
Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput, the Bank’s governor, has raised several concerns regarding the digital wallet project, especially the distribution of money to 50 million people. The BOT's standpoint is clear: the handout should only be given to specific vulnerable groups. Following a meeting of the Digital Wallet project policy committee chaired by Srettha on November 10, it was reported that Sethaput had raised several issues, especially regarding legislation on borrowing money. He observed that such actions might violate the law, as the injection of funds into the system must have a clear source.The tension between Srettha and Sethaput saw the PM attempt to reconcile their differences by inviting Sethaput to a meeting at the Government House.
However, since January, there has been no sign of coffee meetings or discussions, and no photos of the Prime Minister and the Governor of BOT together.The Prime Minister has spoken through the media several times about requesting the Monetary Policy Committee , one of the committees overseen by the BOT, to consider lowering the policy interest rate. Such signals from the Prime Minister often occur before MPC meetings.
"The government demands that the BOT reduces interest rates logically and wants Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput, the Governor of the BOT, to consider the people's distress more than the three issues raised by him," he stated.
