Mrs. Pornanong
Budsaratragoon, Secretary General of the SEC, stated, “At
present, providers of financial, investment, and insurance information play a
significant role in enhancing knowledge for the broader public. The three
regulatory agencies have therefore taken this opportunity to promote learning
and the responsible provision of information through the “Responsible Voices
for Finfluencers Project,” which serves as one of the mechanisms to foster a
network of responsible information providers in finance, investment, and
insurance. Such providers are expected to recognize the potential impact that
information dissemination may have on their followers’ decision-making.
In this regard,
the SEC aims to support finfluencers in disseminating information that is
accurate, appropriate, and responsible, thereby serving as a key driving force
and as positive role models. Participants are encouraged to apply the knowledge
gained to deliver quality information, contributing to enhancing the
credibility of information dissemination across society.
At the same
time, such conduct must not involve the provision of information or advice
relating to securities, derivatives, or digital assets that may fall within or
exhibit characteristics of unlawful activities under the SEC’s supervision,
which would result in enforcement actions in accordance with the applicable
legal process.”
The
“Responsible Voices for Finfluencers Project” has been implemented since May
2025. It aims to
promote the role of providers of financial, investment, and insurance
information across various social media platforms, with a view to promoting
awareness and understanding of appropriate and responsible information
dissemination, while taking into account the potential impacts arising from
such information. At the same time, participants receive direct information
from the three regulatory agencies regarding their roles, responsibilities, and
relevant regulatory frameworks, enabling them to apply such knowledge in
communicating effectively with their followers. Class 3
was conducted over two days, on 20 and 28 May 2026. Across all three classes, a
total of 93 pages/channels representing 114 participants have been awarded
certificates, with a combined following of 34.5 million.
