The central bank will continue to monitor gold trading transactions, which are linked to baht movements and could contribute to the currency's appreciation against the US dollar, he said. After the regulator sought cooperation from financial institutions, banks reported several suspicious cases, which the central bank is now investigating. If it detects any irregular fund flows, the central bank will take further legal action, said Mr Vitai. "For example, we identified two suspicious cases involving cash withdrawals worth 250 million baht and 200 million baht per transaction," he said. As the issuer of banknotes in circulation, the central bank needs to play a greater role in addressing these issues, he said.
