Bangkok, November 12, 2015 ? The SEC is seeking public comments on a draft amendment to the rules on calculation and reporting of net liquid capital to better reflect the asset values and the changing market environments.

The proposed key changes include (1) adjustment of position risk calculation, (2) inclusion of diverse financial instruments such as equity, debts, investment units and trusts in the risk calculation, and (3) updating of the net liquid capital calculation methods to be more flexible and suitable to the current market trends.

This latest draft amendment has already taken into account the feedbacks and recommendations of the stakeholders participating in the previous hearing in August 2015.

The consultation paper is available at www.sec.or.th. Stakeholders and interested parties are welcome to submit comments through the website, or facsimile at 0-2263-6487 or email: patana@sec.or.th.

The public hearing ends on December 7, 2015.
