Thai Central Bank, the Bank of Thailand, recently finished issuing government-backed digital bonds using blockchain technology to reduce costs of operation and improve efficiency.

The Bank announced on September 11  that 50 billion Baht of these government bonds had been sold in just one week. This project is titled the DLT (Distributed Ledger) Scripless Bond Project and is a collaboration between the Thai Central Bank and seven other financial institutions – Public Debt Management Office, Thailand Securities Depository Co., Ltd, Thai Bond Market Association, as well as selling-agent banks, including Bangkok Bank, Krungthai Bank, Kasikorn Bank, and Siam Commercial Bank.

Two types of government bonds were on sale – ‘1 Baht bonds’ and ‘Moving Forward bonds’ – the former raising 5 billion Bahts, and the latter raising 45 billion Bahts.

Prospectively, the Bank of Thailand seeks to use blockchain-powered digital bonds for retail and wholesale markets to fully meet the demand of all stakeholders.
