President Yoon’s Impeachment: Impact on Korean Capital Markets
- On April 4, 2025 (KST), South Korea’s Constitutional Court formally removed former President Yoon Suk Yeol from office in accordance with the constitutional order.
- This decision is expected to significantly reduce political uncertainty. However, external factors such as the U.S. government’s reciprocal tariff policies will continue to have substantial impact on Korean markets.
- June’s presidential election favors government change. Global investors should watch the Democratic Party’s capital market reform proposals.
Political Problems Are Preventing a Solution to the Problem of Declining Birthrates
- Eliminating income limits on child allowances seems to be the right policy because the wealthier families have more children. However, it lacks viewpoints toward the growing number of unmarried people.
- It seems effective to solve the problem of the growing income disparity and the child-rearing/housework being disproportionately placed on women, and taking appropriate measures for those who desire diverse lifestyles.
- Policies don’t reach the ever-increasing number of singles. Rather than solutions to declining birthrate, priority is given to policies that distribute money to those who are more certain to vote.
