The Financial Services Commission announced on the 8th that it held the first “Capital Market Strategy Forum,” presided over by Vice Chairman Kim So-young, with related parties such as research institutions, academia, and market participants.
This forum was organized as the first step to examine the current status of capital market advancement policies and explore medium- to long-term development directions.
In his opening remarks, Vice Chairman Kim So-young emphasized that the role of the capital market will become more important in responding to structural changes such as rapid demographic shifts and declining potential growth rates.
Vice Chairman Kim stated, “We must steadily pursue advancement policies so that the capital market can fulfill its role with the trust of both domestic and international investors.”
The Financial Services Commission has been promoting capital market advancement policies based on three main pillars: establishing a fair and transparent market order, enhancing access for domestic and international investors, and spreading shareholder value-centered corporate management.
Particularly this year, the commission is focusing on capital market innovation and strengthening support for the real economy. Efforts are being made to enhance the competitiveness of the securities industry and diversify the securities issuance and distribution system through institutional improvements, such as expanding corporate finance and the supply of venture capital, and promoting fractional investment.
The Financial Services Commission plans to strengthen communication with research institutions, academia, and market participants centered around the Capital Market Strategy Forum. To systematically pursue this, the commission has established the “Capital Market Strategy Planning Division.”
Vice Chairman Kim stated, “We will continuously identify and supplement medium- to long-term tasks for the advancement of the capital market.”
