South Korea\u2019s foreign exchange reserves climbed for a fifth consecutive month in October, reaching $428 billion, the Bank of Korea said Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $6 billion increase from September was driven by higher investment income and new issuances of foreign exchange stabilization bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the numbers drew limited attention abroad, the steady rebound underscores how South Korea has been rebuilding its dollar holdings in a global environment still defined by high U.S. interest rates and a strong greenback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reserves had fallen to $404 billion in May, the lowest in nearly five years, before recovering as markets stabilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of South Korea\u2019s assets are held in securities such as government and corporate bonds, which totaled $377 billion, down slightly from a month earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deposits rose by $7 billion to $26 billion, offsetting smaller declines in other categories, including the country\u2019s holdings in the International Monetary Fund\u2019s Special Drawing Rights, which fell to $157 billion. Gold holdings were unchanged at $4 billion, recorded at purchase value rather than market price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea remains the world\u2019s ninth-largest holder of foreign reserves, following China ($3.3 trillion), Japan ($1.3 trillion), and Switzerland ($1 trillion). The steady increase offers a glimpse into how major Asian economies continue adjusting to prolonged dollar strength and tight global liquidity conditions shaped by U.S. monetary policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
