- South Korean financial authorities plan to finalize disciplinary measures against banks over losses from Hong Kong H-index-linked equity-linked securities next month.

South Korea’s financial authorities are targeting next month for a final decision on penalties against banks involved in the Hong Kong H-index-linked equity-linked securities losses.
The Financial Services Commission plans to discuss the proposed sanctions at a subcommittee meeting this week. Authorities say they can no longer postpone the decision indefinitely, and that prolonged delays could damage confidence in the disciplinary process.
The main question is whether the penalties will be reduced further before the final conclusion. The authorities’ timetable takes account of holiday schedules, while the sanctions remain under review.
