FSC Plans Rollback of Temporarily Eased Financial Regulations Starting January 2025

The Financial Services Commission decided to gradually normalize temporarily eased liquidity regulations for the banking, financial investment, specialized credit finance, and savings banks sectors starting January 1, 2025. Key measures include rolling back the banking sector's liquidity coverage ratio to 100 percent and reducing the bond cap for derivatives-linked securities hedging to 8 percent, while savings banks and specialized credit finance businesses will face staged adjustments through June 2025. These changes reflect improved market conditions and adequate liquidity levels, with authorities reserving the right to extend or fully rollback remaining eased measures in the second quarter of 2025 based on ongoing sector soundness.
