South Korea's Foreign Exchange Reserves Deemed Adequate Despite Short-Term Debt Ratio Surpassing 40%

GateNews

According to a report by Shinheung Securities analyst Cho Yong-gu released on July 16, most of South Korea's 13 external soundness indicators remain at very healthy levels despite short-term external debt climbing above 40% of foreign exchange reserves. As of Q1 2026, foreign exchange reserves stood at $423.66 billion, with short-term external debt totaling $183.56 billion, yielding a ratio of 43.3%. The analyst concluded that while the reserve level is not excessive, the country's defense against external financial crises remains sufficient, with foreign exchange markets showing structural improvements that enable more flexible policy responses compared to the past.
