South Korea on Monday lifted the longest short-selling ban in the country's history, after tightening measures to crackdown on illegal transactions.

Short selling has become a controversial issue in South Korea , with the nation's strong pool of retail investors often blame it for pushing stock values downward.

The ban was put into place in November 2023 following a series of short selling breaches that involved numerous global investment banks.
