2026.06.0321:00:00UTC+00South Korea’s FX Reserves Edge Lower in May, Marking Slight Decline to $426.99 Billion

South Korea’s foreign exchange reserves slipped marginally in May 2026, easing to USD 426.99 billion from USD 427.88 billion in April 2026, according to the latest data updated on 3 June 2026. The decline of just under USD 1 billion points to a modest adjustment rather than a sharp shift in the country’s external buffer position.

Despite the small dip, the overall reserve level remains substantial, underlining South Korea’s continued capacity to manage currency market volatility and external funding needs. The May movement will be closely watched by market participants for any emerging trends in reserve management and capital flows in the months ahead.
