Fines handed down by regulators for financial misconduct have skyrocketed in recent years, according to a report by Forex Suggest. In 2022, the total dollar amount of fines increased by 415% to $12 billion, the report shows. The average fine ballooned from $8 million in 2021 to $78 million in 2022, despite the total number of fines falling from 289 to 154 during that time.
