Episode Description:
Nearly half of Korea's small and mid-sized businesses are considering an exit.
A survey of 1,500 SMEs found 44.8 percent are reviewing a sale, rising to 60.4 percent among firms with long-tenured employees, prompting the government to push 4-to-7 percent capital gains tax relief to support ownership succession instead. Separately, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield broke below the 5 percent floor as markets bet on a rate cut.
