[South Korea Plans to Cap Individual Stock Leverage Investment at 20%, Will Prioritize Monitoring New Policy Effects Starting July 31] BlockBeats News, July 28, according to South Korea's *JoongAng Ilbo*, South Korean financial regulators decided today that if the overheating of single-stock leveraged products cannot be curbed, additional regulatory measures such as individual investment caps will be introduced. Currently, a plan to limit single-stock leverage investment to within 20% of the total financial investment portfolio is under focused review. Today, South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) Chairman Lee Bok-hyun stated during a discussion that priority will be given to closely monitoring the effects of supplementary measures, such as strengthening the basic margin requirements, which will take effect on July 31. Lee Bok-hyun also mentioned that if demand is not sufficiently curbed, additional measures will be studied and prepared in advance. It is reported that the current proposal under consideration involves setting a total volume management rule, limiting the proportion of single-stock leverage within 20% of an individual's total financial investment portfolio. For example, if the total financial investment portfolio amounts to 100 million KRW, a maximum of 20 million KRW can be allocated to single-stock leveraged products.
