It is checking the foreign currency funding conditions by financial sector, the volatility of the virtual asset market, and sharing and cooperating swiftly with related agencies. Additionally, by activating the emergency response system, the FSS will hold financial situation inspection meetings frequently to ensure thorough crisis response.
Meanwhile, the FSS stated that although Korean bonds in overseas financial markets showed some volatility immediately after the martial law declaration, market volatility has been limited as overseas branches of financial companies have smoothly absorbed the issuance of Korean bonds.
