South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service will give smaller savings banks priority in the next allocation of additional household lending quotas.
The decision aims to promote mid-interest-rate loans. The regulator has finalized the criteria for distributing the extra quotas and is announcing the amounts to savings banks in stages.
