The government has decided to maintain the current threshold for major shareholders subject to capital gains tax on stock transfers at "50 billion won or more per stock." Although there was an initial plan to lower the threshold to 10 billion won, the government chose to stick to the existing standard due to growing concerns about increased selling pressure and weakened investor sentiment in the stock market.


This decision is interpreted as a response to backlash from both the market and the political sphere. Individual investors strongly protested, arguing that the new rule would effectively categorize even the middle class as major shareholders. Both the ruling and opposition parties also pointed out that such a move would conflict with efforts to revitalize the stock market. In response, the government decided to maintain the current standard to stabilize investor sentiment, while also pursuing various policies to stimulate the capital market.

Meanwhile, interest in stock-backed loans continues to rise. Investors who do not want to miss out on rare investment opportunities are turning to stock-backed loans, which allow them to leverage more funds for stock purchases.


One of the advantages of stock-backed loans is that even if investors face a forced sale crisis due to a sharp drop in stock prices while using margin or credit, they can simply switch products without providing additional collateral or selling stocks, and wait for a market rebound.
