South Korea's finance ministry has announced plans to ease foreign exchange (FX) trading rules in a bid to attract increased foreign inflows. This initiative will permit registered foreign financial institutions (RFIs) to engage in FX trading for current transactions, including exports and imports. The move aims to enhance the country's economic engagement with international markets and stimulate investment. The announcement was made on January 2, 2025, and is part of broader efforts to bolster the South Korean economy by facilitating foreign capital entry.
