On
9 April 2026, Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior,
presided over a press briefing on the outcomes of major cases concerning the
suppression of technology‑related crimes. In this regard, the SEC, as the
capital market regulator, stands ready to support and connect inter‑agency
efforts to prevent and deter technology‑related crimes in Thailand.
Mrs. Pornanong Budsaratragoon, Secretary‑General of
the SEC,
stated: “The SEC places importance on integrated
cooperation and on working closely with the AMLO, the CIB, and relevant
government agencies, both domestically and internationally. This includes
accelerating information exchange, monitoring suspicious transactions,
expanding investigative actions, and linking in‑depth information on identity,
behavior, and fund flows through close coordination and collaborative
mechanisms. Such cooperation aims to enhance the effectiveness of tracking fund
flows and examining complex behavioral patterns.
At
the same time, the SEC has continued to advance other key measures to curb
illicit funds in the capital market and the digital asset market across the
entire value chain, from upstream to downstream. These measures include
enhancing Know‑Your‑Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) standards;
considering the reporting of suspicious transactions (Suspicious Transaction
Reports (STRs)) to the AMLO; establishing appropriate risk management measures
for high‑risk customers; strengthening scrutiny of major shareholders and the
ultimate controlling persons of business operators; upgrading supervisory and
monitoring tools for tracking fund flows; and enhancing transparency and
auditability through the disclosure of material information by listed companies.
Accordingly,
the SEC will continue to closely monitor information and coordinate with the AMLO,
the CIB, and relevant agencies to ensure unified and effective supervision and
law enforcement. Where information or circumstances indicate potential
violations under laws within the SEC’s jurisdiction, the SEC will take actions
strictly in accordance with its authority,
in order to protect investors and maintain long‑term confidence in the
Thai capital market.”
