7 of 8 actions in the current sample include a monetary amount and 1 are recorded as non-monetary measures. The cases span 8 principal compliance themes, so enforcement is not reducible to a single fine table.

What follows from the evidence
The comparable fields are who acted, against whom, when, through which legal measure and on what stated issue. Amounts remain in their original currency because converting them would not make the underlying legal tests comparable.
How we calculated it
- Record one row per public regulator action or joint action and preserve the decision or publication date.
- Classify the principal compliance theme from the regulator's own description; keep the regulator's action label and monetary denomination.
- Count actions and themes without converting currencies or treating the sample as a measure of market-wide prevalence.

- The release is a curated source set, not a complete census of enforcement in any jurisdiction.
- Fine size is affected by legal powers, turnover, settlement structure and case-specific facts, so cross-market ranking would be misleading.
- Appeals, reviews, payment status and licence conditions can change after the displayed check date.
