The Korea Exchange (KRX) held a virtual event Thursday to introduce to offshore investors Seoul's ongoing efforts to promote the local stock market that include various government policies and market reform measures.
Some 100 institutional investors from the Asia Pacific region, including those from Hong Kong and Singapore, attended the online event, according to the operator of the country's main bourse.
The KRX said it expects the event to help enhance foreign investors' understanding of and trust in the local capital market, ultimately expanding the grounds for more foreign investment.
The online event came a day after Korea's benchmark Kospi surpassed 6,000 points, becoming one of the world's best-performing stock indexes for the second year running.
