Bangkok, 11 October 2016 ? The SEC is seeking public comments on the proposed revision to the rules concerning intermediary reporting to support sufficient disclosure of information for the supervision and risk assessment of intermediaries and the monitoring of industry development, to prevent excessive burdens on securities and derivatives intermediaries.

The proposed revision covers the reporting scopes and forms to be in line with the financial statement forms, which have been revised earlier, and the waiver of duties on preparation and filing of certain forms in case of ceasing business operation or being in the process of business readiness examination.

The consultation paper is available at www.sec.or.th/hearing. Stakeholders and interested parties are welcome to submit comments through the website, or facsimile at 0-2263-6257 or email: patana@sec.or.th.

The public hearing ends on 21 October 2016.
