Exclusive: South Korea considers easing bond market reporting rules ...
Quick Glance: South Korea Contemplates Easing Bond Market Reporting Rules
  • South Korea is considering relaxing reporting requirements for investors in the bond market to facilitate inclusion in FTSE Russell's global bond index.

  • Proposed changes may reduce reporting to once or twice daily and address a later reporting deadline.

  • Easing these regulations could enhance the prospects of South Korean bonds being included in FTSE Russell's WGBI and attract billions of dollars in capital inflows.

  • Recent reforms in South Korea aim to improve foreign investor access, including the elimination of a 30-year-old rule for foreign stock traders.
