North America and Europe, the twin titans of the old economic guard, appear to be tapping out a slower beat in economic recovery than their counterparts in vibrant Asia. Peering closer, we see the sagacious purchasing managers index (PMI), a harbinger of manufacturing might (or misery), dipping its magical numbers in all four corners of the world.

Picture a helicopter soaring over the lush landscapes of Thailand, a stream of cash cascading down to the outstretched hands of eager citizens below. A fanciful image, perhaps, but one that metaphorically captures the essence of the country’s daring financial endeavor: the digital wallet stimulus.
