Asia Economy reported that the forum is being held in connection with Korea Premium Week 2026, which it described as an event to raise the global attractiveness of the Korean equity and bond markets. Both Asia Economy and Yonhap said the programme is intended to improve foreign investors' access to and use of the domestic bond market by introducing the bond securities lending system. [ 1 , 2 ]

Asia Economy and Yonhap both said the forum will consist of expert topic presentations followed by a question-and-answer session with participants on site. [ 1 , 2 ]
Registration for the forum is open through the association's website, the bond information centre and the K-Bond bond trading system, according to both articles. Neither report states the venue, the start time or the list of speakers. [ 1 , 2 ]
