3 July 2025, 00:42 South Korea: FX Reserves Climb to 5-Month High in June.
South Korea's foreign exchange reserves rose to January's high of $410.2 billion in June 2025, up from $404.6 billion the previous month. The increase was primarily driven by a jump in deposits, which climbed to $26.5 billion from $19.7 billion in May, followed by a slight uptick in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to $15.9 billion from $15.7 billion. In contrast, securities holdings declined to $358.5 billion from $360 billion, while gold reserves ($4.8 billion) and the IMF reserve position ($4.5 billion) remained unchanged. The mixed movement in components reflects continued volatility in the composition of South Korea’s reserves amid shifting global financial conditions. Despite the dip in securities, the overall rise in reserves indicates efforts to maintain stability in a complex economic landscape.
