Group 3: Support for Small and Medium Institutions - The regulations aim to support differentiated and specialized operations for small and medium-sized institutions, promoting high-quality development and operational efficiency [4][5]. - Specific indicators have been added to encourage firms to develop in areas such as self-investment in equity assets and wealth management services, optimizing investment structures [5][6]. Group 4: Compliance and Accountability - The revised regulations enhance the accountability of securities firms by tightening penalties for major violations and expanding the scope for downgrading ratings in cases of significant illegal activities [6][7]. - The regulations promote a "compliance equals effectiveness" logic, fostering a virtuous cycle of compliance, rating, and business operations within the industry [7].
