South Korea’s FX Reserves Edge Higher in July

South Korea's foreign exchange reserves rose to $411.3 billion in July 2025, up from $410.2 billion in June.

The increase was mainly driven by a rise in securities holdings, which grew to $365.1 billion from $358.5 billion.

In contrast, deposits declined to $21.3 billion from $26.5 billion, while Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) edged down to $15.7 billion from $15.9 billion.

Gold reserves remained steady at $4.8 billion, as did the IMF reserve position at $4.5 billion.
