President Lee Jae Myung says South Korea’s capital market remains undervalued and calls for government measures to strengthen competitiveness and attract long-term investment. Speaking at Cheong Wa Dae in Seoul during a meeting with key aides, Lee links his remarks to recent stock-market volatility and to uncertainty from outside the country.
Lee argues that, despite market fluctuations, Korea’s economic fundamentals and corporate competitiveness make the capital market an attractive long-term destination. He says policy should focus on creating conditions under which the market can receive a “fair” valuation, so that the sound development of capital markets can translate into greater household wealth and improved livelihoods for the public.
Across the two accounts provided, Yonhap and the Korea Times both attribute the same core message to President Lee. The Korea Times adds specific context on recent KOSPI movements, while Yonhap’s summary (as supplied) mirrors the same thrust without the additional market-detail emphasis.
