On November 17, 2025, the Korea Financial Services Commission (FSC), the Korea Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), and the Korea Exchange (KRX) released a policy package to improve English-language disclosures, increase transparency around annual general meetings (AGMs), and enhance clarity in executive compensation reporting.  These measures respond to long-standing concerns from global investors who consider Korea’s disclosure regime procedurally sound but difficult to navigate due to language barriers and limited detail in areas relevant to governance evaluations.  For investors with Korean equity exposure, the reforms are expected to ease information monitoring, refine proxy-voting analysis, and reduce practical barriers to stewardship and due diligence.
