South Korea’s Finance Ministry said Tuesday that it would ease property regulations in the majority of districts in the capital Seoul in an effort to stabilize the nation’s weakening property market.

The ministry said that Seoul and its adjacent metropolitan areas would no longer be designated as “speculative districts” from Thursday, allowing home buyers to sell or purchase property with fewer restrictions.
