    North Korea | Dictatorship Implements Rice Price Controls

    North Korea’s authoritarian regime is attempting to cap rice prices after a sharp food price surge, but the policy is making the shortage worse. According to Daily NK, the regime ordered local officials to stop street vendors from selling rice above a state-imposed ceiling. This action was in response to rice prices rising above 30,000 North Korean won ($33.33) per kilogram. Officials and undercover agents are now inspecting markets, checking sellers’ account books, and confiscating rice from those accused of charging too much. Traders are responding by pulling rice from public stalls and selling it privately from homes or other hidden locations. For North Koreans, the state’s actions make rice harder to find and more expensive. FinancialFreedomReport.org

    Thailand | Cash Handout Expands State Digital Payments

    Thailand’s regime approved the “Thai Help Thai Plus” scheme, a 175 billion baht relief program covering more than 43 million people. State welfare cardholders will receive 1,000 baht per month automatically, while 30 million others can register through the Pao Tang app for a 60/40 co-payment benefit worth up to 4,000 baht over four months. The funds can only be used at participating merchants between 6 am and 11 pm through the state-linked wallet app, and cash withdrawals are prohibited. The program may help households facing surging fuel and living costs, but it also deepens reliance on government-controlled digital payment infrastructure. When economic relief is tied to identification, apps, spending rules, and approved merchants, support can quickly become another layer of state control. FinancialFreedomReport.org
