Regulatory Alerts2025-07-09 | 84898Household Loans, June 2025
The Financial Services Commission reported that household loans increased by KRW 6.5 trillion in June 2025, driven primarily by a KRW 6.2 trillion rise in home-backed mortgage loans. This acceleration in lending reflects increased housing transactions from earlier in the year, with banking sector mortgage growth expanding significantly while nonbank growth slowed. Authorities will continue to closely monitor debt trends and strictly enforce new regulations, including a six-month primary residence requirement in Seoul, to prevent market overheating and regulatory circumvention.
