South KoreaÂs central bank ordered lenders to raise reserves held against foreign currency deposits, the second time in two weeks it has tried to curb borrowing. The reserve requirement ratio on short-term foreign currency deposits rose to 7 percent from 5 percent, the Bank of Korea said. The move brings the ratio into line with that for local currency demand deposits and reduces the incentive for banks to lend foreign currencies to home buyers. ÂThis is targeted at the property market,Â said Go You-sun, an economist at Daewoo Securities in Seoul. ÂItÂs a supplementary measure to the reserve requirement ratio increase they announced earlier. The results will take time to show, but this effectively reduces the amount of loans a bank can give.Â.
