SEC to accelerate legal action against market offenders

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to take legal action against offenders under the Securities and Exchange Act this week, in a move to restore confidence in the Thai stock market.

Anek Yooyuen, deputy secretary-general of the SEC, said the regulator will continue to take action against offenders in various cases to protect the benefits of investors and relevant parties.
