The government is pushing to secure emergency intervention powers to regulate single-stock leveraged products, which are being identified as the main culprits behind the stock market crash. This aims to mitigate market volatility and is examining various measures, including adjusting leverage ratios, setting individual investment limits, and mandating simulated trading. In particular, lowering the leverage ratio by referring to the Hong Kong case is drawing attention, and legal groundwork will be laid in line with the need for market stabilization and investor protection. Furthermore, efforts are being made to protect individual investors and minimize market confusion through measures such as raising basic deposit requirements, setting investment limits, and mandating simulated trading.
