South Korea’s foreign exchange reserves inched up in June 2026, reaching USD 427.36 billion, according to data updated on 2 July 2026. The figure marks a slight increase from May 2026, when reserves stood at USD 426.99 billion.
The marginal rise of USD 0.37 billion suggests a stable external position for South Korea, with the country maintaining a robust FX buffer going into the second half of the year. While the pace of growth was modest, the uptick keeps reserves close to their recent highs, reinforcing the nation’s capacity to manage currency market volatility and external shocks.
