Bank of Korea Governor Lee Chang-yong said at a press conference that due to the risks faced by inflation and growth, the current exchange rate level is not ideal, and the weakening of the Korean won is mainly due to domestic factors. The won weakened “unnecessarily” due to internal factors; Lee Chang-yong said that foreign exchange policies can simultaneously address both volatility and level issues. The National Pension Service's overseas investment rules are currently too transparent, and investors can see how the NPS makes foreign exchange decisions; it will take some time to create a new framework for the NPS. NPS has become a major investor, and the impact of its investments on the economy should be considered.
