SEOUL : South Korea's financial authorities will raise the ceiling for their corporate bond-buying facility to 16 trillion won from the current 8 trillion won, Finance Minister Choo Kyung-ho said on Sunday.
The measure is aimed at easing concerns of a liquidity crunch in corporate bond and short-term money markets, Choo said after a meeting with top financial officials, including the Bank of Korea governor and financial regulatory agency chief.
