All listed stocks to be available for shorting in South Korea - Korea Economic Daily

Quick Summary:

To ease retail investors’ concerns about short selling, the financial regulator has revised the country’s short-selling rules and has set up a centralized electronic monitoring platform to better detect naked short sales.“Immediately after the short sale resumption, market volatility would increase but only for the short term,” said a local asset management firm’s chief executive officer, expecting that the share shorting would play a positive role in preventing price overshooting and discovering fair stock prices.

South Korea will allow short selling of all listed stocks in the country as of Monday for the first time in five years, raising expectations that more foreign capital would flow into the Korean stock market in hopes of better risk management and liquidity conditions.

But some raise concerns that volatility will increase in the country’s stock market following the full resumption of short selling, which will coincide with the expansion of stock offerings on the country’s first alternative stock exchange Nextrade (NXT), which is still in its fledgling stage.
