The Thai Chamber of Commerce is calling on the government to manage fuel prices, ensure adequate reserves, and speed up the implementation of energy-saving measures nationwide. FUEL AVAILABILITYEkapoj Yodpinit, president of the Thai Shrimp Association, said the government should take action to prevent fuel shortages. "Given global conditions, higher fuel prices are acceptable as users can manage their consumption. Fuel shortages have a greater impact on production than price hikes," he said, adding that he was unsure about current fuel availability after yesterday's significant price hike. He expressed concern that higher fuel prices will reduce consumer purchasing power as people become more cautious with their spending.
