South Korea's Ministry of Finance issued a brief after holding a financial market evaluation meeting on Thursday, saying that although unilateral expectations of the weakening of the Korean won have eased since the end of 2025, the foreign exchange market has shown high volatility. Finance Minister Koo Yun-chul presided over the meeting. Participants included Bank of Korea Governor Lee Chang-yong and officials from financial regulators. The consensus is that policymakers must maintain firm and consistent policy strength, while also recognizing that current exchange rates are not in line with economic fundamentals. Participants assessed that the financial market was generally stable, the stock market showed a recovery momentum, and bond yields remained stable. Korea will continue to closely monitor the external situation and maintain a 24-hour monitoring system.
