泰国财政部发行50亿泰铢（1.5亿美元）G-Token

与传统债券不同，G-Token并未将其归类为债务工具。相反，它将根据泰国的预算借贷计划提供

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.

一名官员周三表示，泰国财政部计划在两个月内发布50亿泰铢（1.5亿美元）的数字投资代币（称为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.

财政部长Pichai Chunhavajirai说，代币将以1,000泰铢的形式出售，小型投资者可以预期一部分小于500泰铢，即使不是小泰铢。预计他们还会支付高于当前银行存款利率的费用。

"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）告诉记者：“我们将能够在两个月内出售G型。这将是政府本财政年度预算借贷计划的一部分。”

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.

与传统债券不同，G-Token并未将其归类为债务工具。它将根据泰国的预算借贷计划提供，该计划旨在直接向公众筹集资金。

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.

此举标志着政府筹款策略的转变，并扩大了零售业对国家支持投资的机会。它还扩展了在统治的泰国党下探索的更广泛的数字资产计划。

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.

今年早些时候，总理Paetongtarn Shinawatra的父亲Thaksin Shinawatra和一位前总理本人 - 提出了中央银行创建由政府债券支持的稳定者的想法，以支持零售和机构投资者。

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%.

泰国银行最近将其关键利率降低到1.75％，促使人们在储户中寻找更高的替代品。传统银行存款目前提供约1.25％至1.5％的回报。

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.

代币将遵守泰国银行的所有法规，并有助于增加二级债券市场的活动，从而使其更具流动性和可访问性。

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

Pichai说，这一初始阶段将作为测试，进一步的发行将取决于需求。

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

内阁批准了G-Token计划，该计划是政府探索的更广泛的数字资产计划的一部分。

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).

今年早些时候，泰国银行与财政部签署了一份谅解备忘录，以合作开发中央银行数字货币（CBDC）。
