The Korea Exchange announced on the 4th that it held an 'Emergency Market Inspection Meeting' for all executives to assess the domestic financial market situation following the Constitutional Court's ruling to dismiss President Yoon Seok-yeol.
At the meeting held in the afternoon, measures to strengthen the response posture in preparation for increased stock market volatility after the impeachment ruling were discussed.
In particular, as the early presidential election phase begins, it was decided to enhance monitoring of unfair trading related to political theme stocks and to strengthen preventive activities.
The inspection level of illegal short selling, such as naked short selling, which is continuously conducted through the Short Selling Central Inspection System (NSDS), will also be raised.
Jung Eun-bo, Chairman of the Korea Exchange, emphasized to the employees, "We must make every effort to establish work discipline and strengthen IT system inspections to respond swiftly to rapid market changes due to political environment shifts."
