South Korea Fair Trade Commission May Cut Penalties for Bond-Rigging Case by Shifting Calculation Basis from Bid Amount to Operating Revenue

According to Seoul Econ Daily, South Korea's Fair Trade Commission is reviewing a change in how to calculate penalties for the government bond interest rate-fixing case, shifting from the bid amount to operating revenue as the basis. If penalties continue to be calculated using the bid amount, they could reach approximately 7 trillion to 11 trillion Korean won, marking the largest antitrust fine in history; however, switching to operating revenue as the basis would significantly reduce the penalty amount. The review involves 15 government bond primary dealers, including 10 securities firms and 5 banks.
