Korean Equity Market - At the Crossroads? | Corporate

Details: Category: Corporate

A clash over positive domestic fundamentals and concerns over the US sliding into recession iscreating a window of uncertainty for Korean stocks. The long-lasting perception that the Korean market is highly geared to global growth has led to massive selling by foreigners just as a domestic equity culture emerges in Korea. Despite the uncertainty shrouding the global economy, local liquidity remains supportive as GDP is forecasted to grow 4.6% in 2008 and domestic investors expect the new administration to rejuvenate the economy by slashing taxes and focusing on deregulation and efficiency. Is the recent share price weakness due to deteriorating fundamentals or contagion from the credit crisis? Can the Korean market withstand the global headwinds and resume its re-rating in 2008? Dan Perez will address these and other issues relating to the Korean economy and market on Friday, April 25^th.
