South Korea regulator asks banks to adjust FX loans to help stabilise market

SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea’s financial regulator on Thursday asked local banks to consider flexibly adjusting the maturity of foreign exchange transactions and loans for companies amid heightened volatility in the currency market.

That would help ease demand for dollars and stabilise the dollar-won rate, the Financial Services Commission said in a statement.
