Permpoon Chidchob, Advisor to the Prime Minister; Mr. Theppasu Bavornchotidara, Secretary-General of the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO); and representatives from relevant agencies, including the Ministry of Justice, the Royal Thai Police, the Bank of Thailand, the Thai Bankers’ Association, and the Fiscal Policy Office.

The meeting discussed approaches to enhancing the prevention and suppression of financial crime, with the objective of connecting data and regulatory oversight across agencies under a unified framework. During the discussion, the SEC Secretary-General noted that the SEC has enhanced KYC, CDD, and EDD standards, as well as risk assessment criteria, to ensure consistency across all service providers. These measures are intended to facilitate data connectivity and enable the suspension of transactions that are inconsistent with customer information. She further emphasized that aligning due diligence standards across sectors would improve the effectiveness of inter-agency data sharing and coordination.
