泰国发行$ 1.5亿美元的针对零售投资者的政府债券

泰国将发行价值1.5亿美元的政府债券，以使公众数字化，以使投资更容易获得。

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.

一位高级官员周一表示，泰国将发行1.5亿美元的政府债券，标记并出售给公众，以使投资机会更容易获得。

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.

东南亚国家财政部将组织发行债券，该债券将通过该国的主要加密货币交易所出售。

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.

名为G-Tokens的代币将用于在当前的预算计划中加满政府的收入，而公众将能够在交流上购买债券以使他们的个人财富多样化。

“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.

财政部长Pichai Chunhavajira说：“公众可以以可承受的价格购买债券，它们将收益超过当地银行的储蓄帐户。”

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，泰国的银行提供的储蓄账户约为1.5％，而G-token的最初售价为1.5亿美元，约为50亿泰铢。

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.

新的令牌只能向泰国公民使用，它将在获得泰国运营的主要加密货币交易所出售。

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补充说，这只是最初的产品，如果这是成功的，那么财政部将为公众发出更多债券。

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不是加密货币，也不是一种货币形式。这是一种象征性的政府债券，作为投资机会，被出售给公众。

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.

政府的目标是通过为公众提供更多途径来刺激增长，同时增加公共部门的资金。

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

G-Tokens将低阈值投资的好处与数字化资产结合在一起。

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.

许多公众可能对投资政府债券不感兴趣，但他们可能有兴趣投资于在加密货币交易所出售的代币。

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.

此举还可能将年轻交易者介绍给债券交易的世界。随着当前大流行后的贸易中断和经济短缺，贸易商可能会看到对投资债券的更多兴趣。

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.

公众将能够以低至100泰铢或3美元的价格购买G-Tokens。泰国银行还帮助起草了债券发行计划。

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

少量将使低收入人士也可以投资于代币。代币将在接下来的两个月内出售。

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.

政府债券通常以更高的价格出售，例如400亿泰铢，而G-Token的金额仅为50亿泰铢。

“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.

公共债务总干事Patchara Anuntasilpa说：“ G-Tokens不是传统债务工具的一种形式。它们是改善该国预算借贷计划并使金融投资更容易获得公众的计划的一部分。”

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.

政府的目标是使债券市场更容易成为零售商人。对于公民来说，这也可能是一个很好的机会，可以了解有关数字资产的更多信息。

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.

出售债券的举动也可能有助于提高公众的财务素养，这反过来将有助于保护零售商人免受加密货币骗局的侵害。

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，现任总理佩腾塔·辛瓦特拉（Paetongtarn Shinawatra）的父亲塔克辛·辛纳瓦特拉（Thaksin Shinawatra）说，政府应开始发行自己的稳定币。

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认为，由于公众对金融机构的信任，股市遭受了损失。他建议政府应削减腐败，以便人们可以重新获得对股票市场的信心。
