Korean banks increase long-term foreign borrowing

South Korean banks rushed to secure long-term foreign currency loans to prepare for a possible crisis.

The Financial Supervisory Service, South Korea's financial watchdog, reported that the rollover rate of long-term external debts with a maturity of one year or more at 12 domestic banks, excluding regional banks, stood at 299.3 percent in October, sharply up from 186.6 percent a month earlier.

The sharp rise in fresh foreign debts was mainly attributable to domestic banks that proactively secured long-term funds to get ready for a crisis situation and year-end book closing, the FSS said.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
