Dec 15 (Reuters) – Australia’s corporate regulator said on Monday it has imposed an additional capital charge of A$150 million ($99.59 million) on the local bourse operator, ASX, in response to an inquiry launched in June.

In addition, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the Reserve Bank of Australia will step up their review to uplift their joint supervisory model, the regulator added in a statement.
