Rep. Park announced a plan to pass an amendment to the Capital Markets Act in the near future and pass it at an extraordinary National Assembly in February.
Respondent Park said, “Because the short selling system is complete or the date is set without a fixed roadmap, it is an irresponsible attitude to resume,” he said. “Trust, the largest foundation of the capital market, is shaking and there is anxiety. It plays a role in removing it.” Not only the financial authorities, but also the securities company,” he said.
Regarding the voice that the party should allow short selling to only some of the stocks with the highest market capitalization, he said, “It’s similar to the stocks that can be short-selled in Hong Kong style. The situation is a little different from Hong Kong. It is the priority to build trust to ensure peace of mind.”
