Commerce monitors supplies and prices as floods hit several areas

The Internal Trade Department (ITD) actively monitors consumer goods supply and distribution across flood-hit areas to prevent shortages and address increased demand.
ITD coordinates extensively with major retailers, hypermarkets, convenience stores, and fresh/wholesale markets to ensure robust supply chain operations.
While most retail and wholesale systems remain operational, some convenience stores and markets in flood-affected regions face transportation difficulties, impacting access and capacity.
The department is closely tracking vegetable prices, noting increases for items like coriander and celery, while others such as cabbage and tomatoes have become cheaper.

Government task force to target AI cyber threats

Thailand's DES Ministry establishes an international public-private task force to combat escalating AI-driven cyber threats, simultaneously issuing urgent security advisories to five critical domestic sectors.
Chaired by the National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA), this new working group will integrate cross-border intelligence sharing and coordinate rapid response protocols for cyber emergencies, following a meeting with major tech and payment platforms.
The initiative responds to a global surge in sophisticated cyberattacks, including 'zero-click' exploits (like suspected Pegasus spyware) and increased device intrusion attempts reported by Apple and Google.
Domestically, the DES Ministry dispatched formal warnings to high-risk sectors—money, capital markets, public health, critical infrastructure, and energy—instructing them to elevate crisis readiness, with contingency plans confirmed by central agencies.
