KRX offers predictable, fast and efficient listing eligibility review process for the sake of foreign issuers' timely fund raising through IPO on Korean capital market. The timeline for listing eligibility review is stipulated in KRX Listing Rule saying that the outcome of that review should be notified to the issuers within 65 business days from the date of application.
The foreign companies already listed on overseas markets designated by KRX* would be able to receive the outcome of listing review within 45 business days from the date of application. For those foreign companies listed on designated markets for more than five years, KRX Listing Review Committee review would be exempted and only the desk top review for the listing application documents would be applied, which means faster listing review than 45 business days.
