Korea Inc. to face refunding risks with record corporate bond maturities

Quick Summary:

South Korea plans to operate a 40 trillion won program by the ed of 2025 to support the local bond and money markets.“The government will continue market stabilization policies in 2025, which will significantly ease concerns by corporate bond investors,” said Kim Eun-ki, an analyst at Samsung Securities Co.

South Korean companies are expected to face refunding risks with record corporate bond maturities in the first half of 2025 as fundraising conditions deteriorate amid the prolonged political uncertainties following President Yoon Suk Yeol’s surprise martial law declaration.

Corporate bonds worth 49.8 trillion won ($34.4 billion) are set to mature in January-June 2025, the largest ever for a half-year, including 26.6 trillion won in the first quarter and 23.2 trillion won in the second, according to the Korea Financial Investment Association on Friday.
