With the KOSPI surpassing the 3,000 line for the first time in history, some of the ruling party argue that the ban on short selling should be extended.
It is analyzed that it is conscious of the votes of the so-called’Donghak ants’ ahead of the Seoul-Busan mayoral election in April.
It is a position that the power of the people should be left to the securities authorities.

It is the Democratic Party that ignited the political debate over short selling, which is scheduled to resume in mid-March.
Following Rep. Park Yong-jin of the Political Affairs Committee, the relevant standing committee, Rep. Yang Hyang-ja, the highest member of the Party, officially mentioned the need to review the extension of the ban on short selling.
<양향자 / 더불어민주당 최고위원 (지난 11일)> “The ban on short selling will be lifted in March. There is a lot of concern from individual investors about this. If the policy cannot relieve such anxiety, you should seriously consider extending the ban on short selling.”
In short selling, which is bought back after a certain period of time after borrowing and selling stocks, individual investors claim that it not only encourages stock prices to decline, but is also a’sloping playground’.
Individuals with many restrictions on short selling investments cannot be partners with foreigners and institutions with enormous financial power.
Amid the analysis that the ruling party was conscious of the backlash of individual investors called’Donghak ants’ ahead of the Seoul-Busan mayoral election in April, policy committee chairman Hong Ik-pyo said, “Consultation with relevant ministries is in progress.” I will review and decide on a position.”
The people’s strength is that it is a matter for the securities authorities to decide whether to resume short selling.
<김종인 / 국민의힘 비상대책위원장> “I think the securities authorities will not be cautious about whether the stock market should be further extended by extending the ban on short selling vaguely.”
Congressman Seong Il-jong, a secretary of the Political Affairs Committee, also said, “It is desirable for market participants to decide on the issue of short selling through debate.”
