Approaches differ, but are no less ambitious. In Malaysia, the Public-Sector ICT Strategic Plan (2016-2020) proposes that certain government services will be offered only digitally; citizens’ IDs for accessing online services; and 19 agencies will offer mobile payments by 2020.
Digital Thailand 4.0 aims to launch a new economic model to develop the country into a value-based economy. And Vietnam hopes to reduce the use of cash to less than 10% of daily transactions and to promote mobile payment platforms for rural areas.
