The aim is to ensure fair treatment among different types of investors and maintain
stability and efficiency in securities trading. The SET will expedite the review
process and propose changes to the SEC Board for consideration. They also discussed
reviewing guidelines for securities firms regarding clients’ short selling transactions
to ensure adherence to international standards and prevent inappropriate actions.

The SEC and the SET held discussions about the potential review of the guidelines
for securities firms issued by the Association of Securities Companies (ASCO) regarding
clients’ short selling transactions. It was agreed upon by the SET that this review
should be conducted in line with current contexts, aiming to ensure clarity and 
instill more confidence in securities firms’ adherence to international standard
guidelines. The objective is to effectively prevent any inappropriate actions.
