The KOSPI index has dropped 11.13 percent since the start of November, falling 42.87 percent from its June 22 record high of 9,114.55. While China and Taiwan have used market rescue funds, the government in Korea is holding back on deploying a market stabilization fund despite demands from retail investors. To prevent forced selling, the government temporarily suspended a rule requiring brokerages to maintain collateral worth at least 140 percent of margin loans.
