The government may disburse petrol allowances through e-wallets.
According to a message from the Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, the new petrol allowance mechanism may be issued to eligible people through e-purse. However, the government still needs three months to review the results of the experiment.
The Under-Secretary pointed out that the government must ensure that the new gasoline allowance mechanism, when implemented nationwide, will not cause problems for the people. While e-wallets may be common in urban areas, they are not widespread in rural areas, and older people may not have them.
In addition, the Ministry of Finance does not believe that a cash allowance for the target group is a good idea, as some of the low-income groups are engaged in transportation or food delivery services and consume a lot of gasoline every month. It is clear that the cash allowance granted by the government cannot cover the expenses of these operators.
Conclusion, the government has not yet finalized the implementation of the new targeted gasoline allowance mechanism, the government is still exploring and exploring the appropriate method.
