泰國發行$ 1.5億美元的針對零售投資者的政府債券

泰國將發行價值1.5億美元的政府債券，以使公眾數字化，以使投資更容易獲得。

Thailand will be issuing $150 million of government bonds, tokenized and sold to the general public in an effort to make investment opportunities more accessible, a senior official said on Monday.

一位高級官員周一表示，泰國將發行1.5億美元的政府債券，標記並出售給公眾，以使投資機會更容易獲得。

The Southeast Asian nation’s Ministry of Finance will be organising the issuance of the bonds, which will be sold through the nation’s main cryptocurrency exchanges.

東南亞國家財政部將組織發行債券，該債券將通過該國的主要加密貨幣交易所出售。

The tokens, named G-tokens, will be used to top up the government’s revenue in the current budget plan, while members of the public will be able to buy the bonds on exchanges to diversify their personal wealth.

名為G-Tokens的代幣將用於在當前的預算計劃中加滿政府的收入，而公眾將能夠在交流上購買債券以使他們的個人財富多樣化。

“The public can buy the bonds at an affordable price and they will yield more than a savings account at a local bank,” said Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira.

財政部長Pichai Chunhavajira說：“公眾可以以可承受的價格購買債券，它們將收益超過當地銀行的儲蓄帳戶。”

At present, Thailand’s banks offer savings accounts with around 1.5% interest, while the G-token will be sold at an initial offering of $150 million, or about 5 billion baht.

目前，泰國的銀行提供的儲蓄賬戶約為1.5％，而G-token的最初售價為1.5億美元，約為50億泰銖。

The new token will only be available to Thai citizens and it will be sold on the main cryptocurrency exchanges that are licensed to operate in Thailand.

新的令牌只能向泰國公民使用，它將在獲得泰國運營的主要加密貨幣交易所出售。

Chunhavajira added that this was just the initial offering and that if this was successful, then the Ministry of Finance would issue more bonds for the public.

Chunhavajira補充說，這只是最初的產品，如果這是成功的，那麼財政部將為公眾發出更多債券。

The G-token is not a cryptocurrency, nor is it a form of currency. It is a tokenized government bond that is being sold to the public as an investment opportunity.

G-Token不是加密貨幣，也不是一種貨幣形式。這是一種象徵性的政府債券，作為投資機會，被出售給公眾。

The government is aiming to stimulate growth by providing more avenues for the public to invest in and at the same time, increase funding for the public sector.

政府的目標是通過為公眾提供更多途徑來刺激增長，同時增加公共部門的資金。

G-tokens combine the benefits of low threshold investing with digitised assets.

G-Tokens將低閾值投資的好處與數字化資產結合在一起。

Many members of the public may not be interested in investing in government bonds but they may be interested in investing in a token that is sold on a crypto exchange.

許多公眾可能對投資政府債券不感興趣，但他們可能有興趣投資於在加密貨幣交易所出售的代幣。

The move may also introduce younger traders to the world of bond trading. With the current trade disruptions and economic shortfalls after the pandemic, traders may see more interest in investing in bonds.

此舉還可能將年輕交易者介紹給債券交易的世界。隨著當前大流行後的貿易中斷和經濟短缺，貿易商可能會看到對投資債券的更多興趣。

Members of the public will be able to buy the G-tokens for as low as 100 baht, or about $3. The Bank of Thailand also helped draft the plan for the bond issuance.

公眾將能夠以低至100泰銖或3美元的價格購買G-Tokens。泰國銀行還幫助起草了債券發行計劃。

The small amount will allow low-income people to also invest in the token. The tokens will be sold within the next two months.

少量將使低收入人士也可以投資於代幣。代幣將在接下來的兩個月內出售。

Government bonds are usually sold at a much higher amount, such as 40 billion baht, compared to the G-token amount of only 5 billion baht.

政府債券通常以更高的價格出售，例如400億泰銖，而G-Token的金額僅為50億泰銖。

“The G-tokens are not a form of traditional debt instruments. They are part of a plan to improve the country’s budget borrowing plan and to make financial investments more accessible for the general public,” said Patchara Anuntasilpa, director general of public debt.

公共債務總幹事Patchara Anuntasilpa說：“ G-Tokens不是傳統債務工具的一種形式。它們是改善該國預算借貸計劃並使金融投資更容易獲得公眾的計劃的一部分。”

The government is aiming to make the bond market more accessible to retail traders. It may also be a good opportunity for citizens to learn more about digital assets.

政府的目標是使債券市場更容易成為零售商人。對於公民來說，這也可能是一個很好的機會，可以了解有關數字資產的更多信息。

The move to sell the bonds may also help improve the financial literacy of the general public, which in turn will help protect retail traders from crypto scams.

出售債券的舉動也可能有助於提高公眾的財務素養，這反過來將有助於保護零售商人免受加密貨幣騙局的侵害。

In January, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, father of current prime minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, said that the government should start issuing its own stablecoins.

一月份，現任總理佩騰塔·辛瓦特拉（Paetongtarn Shinawatra）的父親塔克辛·辛納瓦特拉（Thaksin Shinawatra）說，政府應開始發行自己的穩定幣。

Shinawatra believes that the stock market has suffered due to the public losing trust in financial institutions. He suggested that the government should clamp down on corruption so that people can regain their confidence in the stock market.

Shinawatra認為，由於公眾對金融機構的信任，股市遭受了損失。他建議政府應削減腐敗，以便人們可以重新獲得對股票市場的信心。
