Thailand’s bourse plans to implement rule changes next month aimed at restoring investor confidence in what has been Asia’s worst-performing stock market this year.
The Stock Exchange of Thailand starting July 1 will require high-frequency traders to register before they can place their orders, it said in a statement Friday. The bourse also said it will disclose information on investors conducting “inappropriate trading practices” to member brokerages to enable more effective supervision.
