  "summary": "The Thai government has implemented a crackdown on nominee entities, resulting in a 75% decrease in newly registered high-risk nominee businesses between August 1 and 20 compared to the same period last year. Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun clarified that this decline refers only to newly registered entities in the nominee-risk category, not all nominee arrangements in the country. The ministry is taking action on two fronts: tightening checks on shareholders and those controlling businesses before registration and reviewing already-registered companies in partnership with 23 agencies. The goal is to prevent the misuse of the nominee system while allowing honest businesses to operate easily and compete fairly.",
