The Commerce Ministry (announced 26 Sep 2026) is monitoring heavy rain and flooding nationwide. Provincial commerce offices will track stock, prices and demand for essential goods, and coordinate with wholesalers, retailers and suppliers to restock and deliver goods to flood-hit areas. Expect scrutiny of hoarding, unlabelled prices and unfair pricing. Keep shelves stocked, price-tag goods clearly, and avoid sharp price rises. Report problems or questions via hotline 1569 or the provincial commerce office. If your business can supply essentials to affected areas, contact your provincial commerce office.
