ASEAN 3 Bond Market Guide 2018: Republic of Korea

This bond market guide provides an update of the recent developments in the bond market in the Republic of Korea since the first publication of the ASEAN 3 Bond Market Guide in 2012. The corporate bond market in the Republic of Korea is the second largest in ASEAN 3 after that of the People's Republic of China. In recent years, the regulatory authorities introduced a professional bond market through the Qualified Institutional Buyers concept and eased the access for foreign issuers, while the bond market on the exchange has been evolving. The report is an outcome of the support and contributions of ASEAN 3 Bond Market Forum members and experts, particularly from the Republic of Korea.
