Bank of Korea Governor Addresses Regulatory Concerns Over Offshore Won Settlement System Ahead of September Trial

According to Bank of Korea Governor Shin Hyun-song, on July 16, the central bank will ensure there are no supervisory gaps in the offshore won settlement system, which is set to begin trial operations in September. Shin made the comments during a press briefing following the Monetary Policy Committee meeting, responding to concerns that the new system could weaken anti-money laundering (AML) and real-name verification oversight compared to the existing Investor Registration Certificate (IRC) system. The offshore won settlement system allows foreigners to hold and settle won through accounts held with offshore won settlement institutions without opening domestic bank accounts, with final settlements processed through the Bank of Korea's offshore won settlement network.
