The Korea Exchange (KRX) held the "KOSPI market roadshow for the first half of 2026" online on this day.

The roadshow was held for overseas institutional investors in Singapore, Hong Kong and Sydney, where the government's stock market policy direction, the status of the KOSPI market, and major regulatory improvements were introduced. About 100 overseas institutional investors attended the roadshow.

The exchange said it shared the recent performance of the Korean stock market with overseas institutional investors through the roadshow and explained regulatory improvements aimed at strengthening foreign investors' market access.

Plans to upgrade infrastructure, including pushing to open a premarket and after-hours market, were also shared.

Jeong Gyu-il, head of the Korea Exchange (KRX) Stock Market Division, said, "Thanks to the government's regulatory improvement efforts for the 'Korea premium' era and investors' interest, the KOSPI index has surpassed 6,000 and is setting a record high day after day," adding, "Going forward, the exchange will actively support government policy and listen to investors' voices so that we can be evaluated as an advanced market."
