South Korea pushes to shorten retailer payment cycles, industry on alert
South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission plans to propose a bill in the first quarter to shorten payment deadlines in large-scale retailing. The changes would cut direct-purchase payment terms to 30 days from 60 and special-contract purchases to 20 days from 40. The move could raise liquidity pressure for retailers including Coupang, Kurly and Daiso, which the regulator cited as paying close to legal deadlines. Industry participants warned of reduced liquidity and potential financing needs.
