Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced strengthened integrated cooperation with the Anti‑Money Laundering Office (AMLO) and the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) to improve information monitoring, fact-finding and coordinated operations aimed at preventing the capital market and the digital asset market from being used for illicit funds, money laundering, or financial and technology-related crimes. The reinforced coordination focuses on accelerating information exchange, monitoring suspicious transactions, expanding investigative actions, and linking in-depth information on identity, behaviour and fund flows to improve the tracking of fund movements and complex patterns. Alongside this inter-agency work, the SEC highlighted ongoing measures across the value chain, including enhancing Know-Your-Customer and Customer Due Diligence standards, considering Suspicious Transaction Report submissions to AMLO, applying appropriate risk management for high-risk customers, strengthening scrutiny of major shareholders and ultimate controlling persons of operators, upgrading supervisory tools to track fund flows, and improving transparency and auditability through listed-company disclosure of material information. The SEC stated it will continue to monitor information and coordinate with AMLO, CIB and other agencies, and will take action within its legal remit where circumstances indicate potential violations.
