The Treasury Department has transferred money to 4.5 million state welfare cardholders since 4 am today, sending money to vulnerable groups to stimulate the grassroots economy.
Mr. Jirayu Huangsap, Public Relations Advisor to the Prime Minister, revealed that Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister, has received a progress report on the economic stimulus project for 2024 through state welfare cardholders and disabled persons. The money has been transferred to vulnerable groups, namely state welfare cardholders whose ID card numbers end with 1-2-3, totaling 4.5 million people, which has been completed since 4:00 a.m. today. Most of the people who received the money used it to buy necessary consumer goods, such as rice. Some used the money to repair or spend on their children. Meanwhile, some elderly people saved it for travel expenses or health expenses, which is in line with the government’s intention to use the money for vulnerable groups.
