South Korea's Short Selling Ban: Impact on Stock Markets and Foreign Investment Prospects

South Korea has announced a ban on short selling until 2024, as part of efforts to stabilize the market and protect investors. The ban comes amid concerns over market volatility and potential manipulation. Short selling involves borrowing shares and selling them in the hope of buying them back at a lower price, profiting from the difference. The ban is expected to provide a temporary relief to the market and allow regulators to implement stricter regulations.
