The South Korea Financial Services Commission published a clarification outlining plans for a comprehensive package that will include adjustments to aggregate household lending management targets. The measures are intended to expand lending capacity and ease difficulties faced by young people and borrowers with genuine financing needs as financial institutions restrict loan volumes. The commission attributed the recent constraints to financial institutions tightening household lending management to meet their aggregate targets. It is consulting the financial sector on maintaining access to credit, including relocation and final payment loans, and plans to announce the package later in the week of Aug. 10.
