South Korea plans stricter stock market rules, raising minimum company valuations and limiting share resale.

South Korea's Financial Services Commission plans to tighten stock market rules starting in 2026. The changes include raising the minimum market capitalization for companies on the Kospi exchange to 20 billion won initially and 50 billion won by 2028, and reducing the delisting process from four to two years. Additionally, over 40% of new company shares will be reserved for institutional investors who must hold them for three to six months to prevent immediate reselling for profit.
