This was done because the domestic coal stock was almost depleted, so coal companies had to fill the domestic coal stock first. Then the government announced that after 11 days, the coal export ban policy was eased. The coal export ban policy and its easing have caused the coal stock market to experience various reactions.

The result of this research shows that there is no difference in market reaction based on abnormal returns and trading volume activity before and after the coal export ban policy and its easing.
