泰國財政部發行50億泰銖（1.5億美元）G-Token

與傳統債券不同，G-Token並未將其歸類為債務工具。相反，它將根據泰國的預算借貸計劃提供

Thailand’s Finance Ministry is planning to issue 5 billion baht ($150 million) in digital investment tokens - dubbed the G-Token - within two months, a ministry official said on Wednesday.

一名官員周三表示，泰國財政部計劃在兩個月內發布50億泰銖（1.5億美元）的數字投資代幣（稱為G -Token）。

The tokens will be sold in units of 1,000 baht and small investors can expect an installment as small as 500 baht, if not smaller, said Pichai Chunhavajirai, the minister of finance. They are also expected to pay out a rate higher than the current bank deposit rates.

財政部長Pichai Chunhavajirai說，代幣將以1,000泰銖的形式出售，小型投資者可以預期一部分小於500泰銖，即使不是小泰銖。預計他們還會支付高於當前銀行存款利率的費用。

"We will be able to sell the G-Token within two months from now. It will be part of the government's budget borrowing plan for this fiscal year," Pichai told reporters.

皮卡（Pichai）告訴記者：“我們將能夠在兩個月內出售G型。這將是政府本財政年度預算借貸計劃的一部分。”

Unlike traditional bonds, the G-Token is not classified as a debt instrument. It will be offered under Thailand’s budget borrowing plan, which aims to raise funds directly from the public.

與傳統債券不同，G-Token並未將其歸類為債務工具。它將根據泰國的預算借貸計劃提供，該計劃旨在直接向公眾籌集資金。

The move marks a shift in the government’s fundraising strategy and expands retail access to state-backed investments. It also expands on broader digital asset initiatives being explored under the ruling Pheu Thai Party.

此舉標誌著政府籌款策略的轉變，並擴大了零售業對國家支持投資的機會。它還擴展了在統治的泰國黨下探索的更廣泛的數字資產計劃。

Earlier this year, Thaksin Shinawatra - the father of Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and a former premier himself - pitched the idea of the central bank creating a stablecoin backed by government bonds to support both retail and institutional investors.

今年早些時候，總理Paetongtarn Shinawatra的父親Thaksin Shinawatra和一位前總理本人 - 提出了中央銀行創建由政府債券支持的穩定者的想法，以支持零售和機構投資者。

The Bank of Thailand recently reduced its key interest rate to 1.75%, prompting the search for higher-yielding alternatives among savers. Traditional bank deposits currently offer returns of about 1.25% to 1.5%.

泰國銀行最近將其關鍵利率降低到1.75％，促使人們在儲戶中尋找更高的替代品。傳統銀行存款目前提供約1.25％至1.5％的回報。

The tokens will comply with all Bank of Thailand regulations and could help increase activity in the secondary bond market, rendering it more liquid and accessible.

代幣將遵守泰國銀行的所有法規，並有助於增加二級債券市場的活動，從而使其更具流動性和可訪問性。

This initial phase will serve as a test, and further issuances will depend on demand, said Pichai.

Pichai說，這一初始階段將作為測試，進一步的發行將取決於需求。

The cabinet has approved the G-Token plan, which is part of broader digital asset initiatives being explored by the government.

內閣批准了G-Token計劃，該計劃是政府探索的更廣泛的數字資產計劃的一部分。

Earlier this year, the Bank of Thailand signed a memorandum of understanding with the ministry of finance to cooperate on developing a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

今年早些時候，泰國銀行與財政部簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，以合作開發中央銀行數字貨幣（CBDC）。
