The Commerce Ministry has set up a Single Command to monitor consumer goods supply, prices and distribution during the flooding nationwide. Retailers and wholesalers are asked to speed up restocking and adjust delivery routes for flood-hit areas. Price gouging is explicitly prohibited, and the Department of Internal Trade hotline 1569 (24 hours) takes complaints about hoarding or unfair pricing. Owners in affected provinces should check stock and route plans, and keep pricing defensible. The article gives no specific new rules or penalties.
