Global investment institutions urged South Korea to maintain predictable, consistent capital-market reforms as the government seeks to replace the "Korea Discount" with a "Korea Premium" and attract overseas capital. At Korea Premium Week 2026, held on the 28th by the Financial Services Commission and Korea Exchange, investors including BlackRock, Capital Group, Oaktree Capital and Vanguard welcomed changes such as the revised Commercial Act, mandatory share buybacks and improved market accessibility. Speakers said long-term capital depends on transparent markets, strong governance, shareholder protection and rules that remain stable through market corrections and political changes. They also said continued cooperation among the government, National Pension Service, exchange and regulators will be needed because reform-driven market revaluation takes time. A Seoul National University law professor said foreign investors frequently question whether institutional improvements will last, but argued that investor protection has become a lasting social priority among South Korea's 15 million domestic individual investors.
