Loan curbs keep volume caps but widen exemptions for housing supply funds

South Korea’s financial authorities are splitting real estate finance policy into household loan volume caps and support for housing supply. They plan to keep overall household loan management by financial firms, while exempting funds needed for housing supply, youth housing stability and end-user demand. August household loans rose 2.6 trillion won, down from July, but mortgage lending increased. Authorities will also ease some PF capital ratio rules for housing projects and expand supply-related funds.
