Surging Covid Infections Delay Chinese Exporters’ Deliveries

By Caixin Global

  • The surge of Covid-19 across China is preventing exporters from delivering orders on time because their workers are falling sick.
  • The missed deadlines show how China’s Covid policy is again disrupting foreign trade, this time due to illnesses rather than lockdowns and other restrictions.
  • Suppliers in the Guangdong province cities of Guangzhou, Dongguan and Foshan said they have had to push back deliveries until the middle of January

Split-Offs in Korea: Amendment by FSC & Implications

By Douglas Kim

  • The FSC recently made an amendment where when a listed company’s BOD decides on a split-off, the shareholders that oppose this physical division are granted the right to purchase shares.
  • The new regulations on the split-offs will encourage new spin-offs where the shares of the subsidiary company of the spun-off entity are distributed as special dividends on a pro-rata basis.
  • These capital market reforms in Korea will help the country to eventually reach Developed Country status by the MSCI, most likely in 2025-2027.
