Thailand Announces Digitised Government Bonds Called ‘G-Token’ For a Low Threshold Price

Thailand Announces Digitised Government Bonds Called ‘G-Token’ For a Low Threshold Price

Thailand will issue $150 million worth of government bonds, digitised for the general public, to make investments more accessible. Thailand’s Ministry of Finance will organise the bond issuance. Pichai Chunhavajira, the Finance Minister, announced the tokenized bonds, saying that the G-tokens will be used to raise funds for the government, conform to the current budget plan, and enable the public to buy bonds for personal wealth creation. Chunhavajira said that the public can buy the bonds at an affordable price. The bonds will allow the public to earn more than a savings account at a local bank. Thailand banks currently offer savings accounts with around 1.5% interest. The G-token will only be available to Thai citizens. Chunhavajira said that the tokens will be made available on licensed crypto exchanges. The initial offering of $150 million is worth around 5 billion baht. Chunhavajira also noted that this was just the beginning and that if this initial offering were successful, the Ministry of Finance would issue more bonds for the public. The G-token is neither a cryptocurrency nor a form of currency. Thailand’s government is releasing the G-token as an investment option for the public, to stimulate growth and provide funding for the public sector at the same time. G-tokens’ issuance seems to combine the benefits of low threshold investing with digitised assets. Public members may not be interested in government bonds, but may buy digitised bonds that they can buy on a crypto exchange. The issuance of G-tokens may also introduce many younger traders to the world of bond trading. With the current trade disruptions and economic shortfalls after the pandemic, bond trading may be a sensible option for traders. Public members can buy G-tokens for as low as 100 baht, roughly $3. The Bank of Thailand helped draft the bond issuance plan. The low G-tokens threshold will allow low-income people to afford the investment. The release of the G-tokens will happen within the next two months. Government bonds are often released at a much higher amount, such as 40 billion baht, much higher than the G-token amount of only 5 billion baht. Patchara Anuntasilpa, director general of public debt, said that the G-tokens were not a form of traditional debt instruments, but rather were part of a plan to improve the country’s budget borrowing plan and to make financial investments more accessible for the general public. The bond market has traditionally been limited to wealthy traders and businesses. This government-backed plan will improve accessibility for retail traders. It may also be a good opportunity for regular citizens to use digital assets. The bond offering may improve the general public’s financial literacy, which has the added benefit of protecting retail traders from scammers. In January, former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, father of current prime minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, announced that the government should start issuing its stablecoins. 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 again.
