The head of Korea’s stock exchange is scheduled to visit Hong Kong and Singapore this week to showcase the vision of the local bourse and attract investors amid the strong performance of the domestic market, the bourse operator said Monday.
Korea Exchange (KRX) Chairman Jeong Eun-bo plans to hold investor relations (IR) sessions in Hong Kong on Tuesday and Singapore on Thursday, where he will outline the Lee Jae Myung administration’s initiatives to promote the capital market and efforts to enhance market trust, according to the exchange.
“We will continue to implement corporate value-up programs and proactively respond to changes in the global capital market paradigm, so that the domestic stock market can transition from a Korea discount to a Korea premium,” Jeong said.
Korean stocks have been among the world’s best performers this year, rising around 70 percent so far, driven by government-led market reforms and optimism over the AI and technology sectors.
