Rep. Song: 'Expanded Stock Market Volatility Raises Retirement Anxiety... Government Must Foster Stable Investment Environment Through Consistent Policy'

Amid a recent stock investment frenzy where even retirement preparation funds are moving into the stock market, it has been pointed out that individual investors' retirement anxiety is growing due to expanded stock market volatility.

This phenomenon is analyzed as the result of capital flocking to the stock market following a succession of pension savings insurance cancellations and fund redemptions, driven by expectations of rising stock prices.

Rep. Song pointed out that market instability has expanded as the KOSPI's volatility increased due to the recent launch of single-stock leveraged ETFs and increased foreign selling caused by high exchange rates. Rep. Song emphasized that the government must create a stable investment environment through consistent policies that the market can trust, rather than focusing on short-term market boosts.
