1. Reason for Amendment
- To include electronic financial entrepreneurs who do not fall under the "financial and insurance activities" category of the Korean Standard Industrial Classification (KSIC) within the definition of a financial company under the Financial Conglomerates Act. This ensures they are subject to the financial conglomerate's risk management, just like electronic financial entrepreneurs who
do fall under the KSIC category.
