--

According to the Korean newspaper JoongAng Ilbo, the financial regulatory authorities in South Korea plan to limit individual investors' investment in single stock leveraged products to no more than 20% of the total amount of financial investment products. The Chairman of the Financial Commission of South Korea, Li Yiyuan, stated that priority will be given to the policy effects of the supplementary measures such as strengthening the basic reserve fund implemented from July 31. If demand cannot be calmed down, additional regulatory measures will be studied in advance. For example, if the investment amount of a financial investment product is 100 million Korean won, a maximum of 20 million Korean won can be invested in a single stock leveraged product.
