Finance minister hopes for Bloomberg review of Korea's market status

Korea's finance minister has asked Bloomberg to review the country's classification as an emerging market in one of its bond indexes. This request comes after Korea's improved market access for foreign investors, which has made it easier for them to invest in the country. The minister believes that this change warrants a review of Korea's market status in the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index. If Korea's status is upgraded, it could attract even more foreign investment and boost the country's economy.
