South Korea capital market investor relations initiative

Overview

The inaugural ‘Korea Premium Weeks 2026’ launched as a major integrated capital market investor relations event in South Korea. Hosted by the Financial Services Commission and the Korea Exchange, the three-week program involves dozens of institutions and listed companies, including Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, to enhance the global competitiveness of the domestic market.

During the event, global investors emphasized that maintaining market rallies depends on structural reforms. Key recommendations provided to South Korean authorities included improving corporate governance, increasing shareholder returns, and addressing taxation issues regarding dividends and inheritance. Investors also advocated for policy consistency, specifically advising against abrupt regulatory interventions like short-selling bans.
