But those has been limited to short-term financing as the deposits must be returned on demand.“Brokerage companies borrowing foreign currency from Korea Securities Finance cannot manage them in a long term, which reduce their investment returns,” said one of the sources.“If they can borrow funds raised through foreign currency bonds, they’ll be able to manage them on a stable basis.” KSF holds a credit rating high enough to issue foreign currency debts.

A KSF official confirmed the foreign debt issuance plan, but said: “We’re in the early stages of reviewing it.”It plans to use the proceeds to offer medium- to long-term foreign currency loans primarily to small-sized securities firms that are expanding principal investments and trading in alternative investment markets.
