Number of Digital Wallets and Payment Methods
According to the provided information, the Central Bank has been able to define 90 million digital wallets for citizens. These wallets allow users to make payments using the code `*98` without the need for an internet connection.

The Cabinet had previously mandated the Targeted Subsidy Organization to provide the Central Bank with information on the beneficiaries of this plan, including national ID numbers, mobile phone numbers, and the amount to be credited. This information allows the bank to effectively manage the deposit of subsidies and enables individuals to easily access their financial resources.

The implementation of this plan is considered an important step towards improving the subsidy distribution system and increasing economic transparency. Given the high number of defined digital wallets, it is expected that this plan will have a positive impact on the financial and social trends in the country. Additionally, this action can help reduce existing problems in the transfer of subsidies and increase individuals' access to financial services.
