South Korean banks’ loan delinquency ratio up in August: report

The delinquency ratio has been on the decline since May 2018.

South Korean banks’ won-based loan delinquency ratio climbed in August compared to the previous month, reports Yonhap, based on data from the Financial Supervisory Service.

The delinquency ratio on banks' won-based loans stood at 0.28% as of end-August, up 0.01 percentage point (ppt) from a month earlier, according to preliminary data from the Financial Supervisory Service.

The rise was due to tightened controls on loans overdue at the end of every quarter, the local financial watchdog said.

The delinquency ratio on won-based loans has been on a decline since May 2018, when the ratio was tallied at 0.62%.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
