The Financial Services Commission proposed amendments to the Enforcement Decree of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act to enhance market surveillance and impose stricter penalties for unfair trading. The revisions authorize the Korea Exchange to process pseudonymized personal data for individual-focused monitoring and increase penalty surcharges for price manipulation, disclosure violations, and misconduct by financial company employees. These measures aim to improve detection efficiency and investor protection, with the proposal entering a comment period before expected implementation in October 2025.
