South Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance held a roundtable with major exporting firms to review recent foreign exchange market trading conditions and discuss public-private cooperation to improve FX supply and demand amid heightened external uncertainty and concerns about increased won volatility. Second Vice Minister Heo Jang urged participating companies to maintain consistent FX risk management and cooperate actively in efforts to stabilise the FX market. The ministry also outlined the status of a proposed tax law amendment that would provide tax preferences for return-to-domestic-market accounts (RIA) and personal FX hedging products, and temporarily raise the non-inclusion ratio for dividends received from overseas subsidiaries to 100% from 95% for 2026. Firms indicated they would actively consider the scale and timing of dividend inflows to Korea to leverage the corporate tax savings and support FX supply-demand stabilisation.
