    The competent authority may, depending on the domestic economic and financial status and the conditions of securities markets and securities firm business, adjust the requirements in subparagraph 1 of the preceding paragraph.
    In cases where a securities firm has failed to meet a condition in subparagraphs 4 to 8 of paragraph 1, but where concrete improvement has been made and the competent authority has granted consent, the securities firm may be exempted from restriction thereunder.
    After a securities firm is approved by the competent authority to conduct securities trading margin purchase and short sale business, if its regulatory capital adequacy ratio falls below 150 percent for two consecutive months, it shall suspend such business, which it may resume only after the securities firm is in compliance with the requirement for 3 consecutive months and is approved by the competent authority; the same requirement shall apply to a securities firm that has already received approval to conduct such business but has not yet commenced it.
