On December 7, local time, Kim Yong-beom, head of the policy department at the South Korean President's Office, said that as one of the measures to deal with the weakness of the Korean won, South Korea is examining whether retail investors have excessive hidden risks in their overseas investment activities. Kim Yong-beom said that the government is also reviewing the overseas profit transfers of private companies, as well as the National Pension Service's overseas investments, including asset allocation and foreign exchange hedging operations. He said the government is ready to take “appropriate” measures to deal with betting on the depreciation of the won.
