(Seoul=NSP NEWS) = It's been reported that South Korea's foreign exchange reserves went up by US$780 million year-on-year at the end of March due to the weakening of US dollar.

According to '2023 End of March Foreign Exchange Reserves' report released by the Bank of Korea on 5th, South Korea's foreign exchange reserves last month was US$426.07 billion.

The increase was the result of a rise in value of non-US dollar-denominated foreign currency assets, such as Euro, following the weakening dollar with 2.4% decrease in dollar value index in March, Bank of Korea explained.
