Jung Eun-bo, Chairman of the Korea Exchange, stated, "Currently, plans to enhance corporate value are being disclosed primarily in the financial sector, and it is expected that disclosures will expand to various industries in the second half of the year when business plans are actively gathered."


He added, "As volatility in domestic and international stock markets has recently increased, we ask the top 10 groups, which are a strong pillar of our stock market, to take the lead in participating in the value-up program."


The executives attending the meeting mentioned that, following the completion of the first half earnings announcements, they are reviewing participation in the corporate value-up program and discussing ways to continuously increase corporate value by linking listed affiliates at the group level.



A Korea Exchange official said, "We plan to actively support the disclosure participation of listed companies by providing examples of value-up disclosures from participating companies through future briefings and discovering outstanding company cases," adding, "We will announce the Korea Value-Up Index, which will serve as a barometer for the value-up program, next month and will proceed smoothly with the launch of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) and the listing of value-up index futures within this year."
