What MSCI’s assessment means for S. Korea’s equity market - The Star

Quick Summary:

South Korea again failed to obtain the reclassification of its stock market as a developed market by global index provider MSCI after the country reimposed a full ban on stock short selling, which overshadowed positive assessment among foreign investors of the country’s efforts to lower the barrier for access to financial markets here.

The result of the appeals court ruling in the lawsuit has already started to affect stock prices of the group’s core companies on the expectation that the chairman may have to sell some of the stakes that he or his family members hold to fulfil the ruling.

In fact, stock prices in South Korea have lagged behind US-listed stocks in recent weeks despite the government’s repeated promises to push ahead with the initiative.
