The FSC said in a statement that under the proposed bill, "public enterprises and other government-affiliated institutions are to fall under the newly enhanced currency transaction reporting."
"The definition of a one-off financial transaction is to be changed to a transaction performed by a customer that has not established a business relationship with a financial service provider," it said.(Yonhap)
