Foreign currency deposits in Korea rose for the third consecutive month in June on increased dollar savings, central bank data showed Monday.
Outstanding foreign currency-denominated deposits held by residents stood at $113.33 billion at the end of June, up $1.08 billion from a month earlier, according to data from the Bank of Korea (BOK).
The reading has been rising since April.
Residents include Korean citizens, foreigners who have lived in the country for more than six months and foreign companies. The data excludes interbank deposits.
