The guideline includes 17 measures regarding fields such as raising legal costs for irregular practices.

Specific requirements are made to increase crackdown upon illegal behaviors disrupting the IPO reform and financial corruption.

The guideline said more researches and guidance will be made on civil compensation cases related with insider trading and market manipulation.
