The financial regulatory innovation committee (FRIC) held a meeting on January 19 to discuss measures to improve regulations in capital markets.

The measures included:

1. improving foreign investors’ access to capital markets through abolishment of the foreign investors’ registration system and phased expansion of English disclosure requirement to boost the global dynamism in domestic capital markets and
2. establishing a regulatory framework on the issuance and distribution of security tokens to permit security token offerings (STOs) and to promote development of a safe secondary market.
