South Korea will use market and capital flow measures to curb one-sided fluctuations in the exchange rate.

The Minister of Strategy and Finance of South Korea stated that the government will focus on improving the economic fundamentals, while at the same time taking short-term market measures and capital flow management measures to ease the excessive one-way fluctuations of the country's currency. Ju Jin-cheol said in his opening speech at a foreign exchange market seminar on Wednesday that despite South Korea's record current account surplus, the volatility of the South Korean won has increased, leading to one-sided market trends, indicating an imbalance in capital flows in the foreign exchange market. The rapid growth of local investors in overseas securities investment has exacerbated the imbalance of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market.
