Thailand's cabinet approves a revised debt plan, including financing for a $13.5 billion cash stimulus program, with a digital wallet scheduled for implementation later this year. The public debt-to-GDP ratio is at 64.3%, and the central bank advises the government to limit benefits to those in need.
