In recent years, as demands for abolition of short selling emerged mainly from individual investors, the financial authorities have ended the ban on short selling, but started to evolve controversy to prevent side effects by improving the system.
Earlier, the Financial Services Commission announced a plan to improve the operation of the short selling system on December 20 last year. The plan included a ban on short selling in the stock market by market makers of Mini KOSPI 200 futures and options, and establishing a short selling monitoring system so that information related to the bid price of borrowed short selling could be used for market monitoring purposes.
In particular, the Financial Services Commission is considering internally a plan to allow individual investors to sell short. Finance Committee Chairman Eun Seong-soo also said at a press conference held on December 14 last year, “Introducing the regulation of a professional investor in the part of short selling, allowing investors who can take responsibility first, but I think that expanding it will be a compromise.
