The BOT (Bank of Thailand) is set to start testing its retail CBDC (central bank digital currency) in the second quarter of 2022.

The central bank wants to test the use of a digital baht for the general public within 2022 before fully implementing the digital currency over the next 3-5 years.

BOT Financial Markets Operations Group Assistant Governor, Vachira Arromdee, said the retail CBDC is aimed at providing access to convenient and secure financial services without affecting Thailand’s financial system.
