[Report: South Korea Considers Buying Long-Term US Treasuries] According to a report by Jinse Finance, citing sources familiar with the matter, the Korea Economic Daily reported that South Korea is considering a large-scale purchase of long-term US Treasury bonds to increase its foreign exchange reserves and strengthen economic ties with Washington. The South Korean government and central bank recently raised this idea with the US, which responded positively. The specific scale of the purchase has not yet been determined, but it is expected that South Korea will purchase at least tens of billions of dollars in US Treasury bonds, enough to significantly boost its foreign exchange reserves.
