15 Companies Delisted in Q1...Double Last Year's Figure
Financial authorities are accelerating the expulsion of failing "zombie companies," leading to 15 delistings in Q1, double last year's number. Even the KOSPI market, which hadn't seen delistings in the past three years, had 5 companies delisted in Q1. With the strengthening of '4 major delisting requirements' from July, more delistings are expected on KOSDAQ. This move is anticipated to help improve the constitution of the Korean capital market.
