Household Loans, February 2025

The Financial Services Commission reported that household loans across all financial sectors increased by KRW4.3 trillion in February 2025, reversing the previous month's decline. This growth was primarily driven by a KRW5.0 trillion rise in home mortgage loans, particularly within the banking sector, while other loan types saw a smaller decline. Authorities attribute the uptick to new annual issuance plans and seasonal housing demand, maintaining a consistent policy stance to monitor potential price spikes and prevent market speculation.
