환율 1500원 시대, 정말 IMF 걱정은 안 해도 될까? 외환보유액·국민연금·통화스와프의 불편한 진실

The won/dollar exchange rate, which had approached 1,560 won, is currently in the 1,510 won range due to active government intervention. Despite this active intervention, it has been unable to fall below 1,500. Many people are concerned, asking, "Could a foreign exchange crisis be coming?" However, the government and some experts state that "it is completely different from the 1997 IMF foreign exchange crisis." In fact, Korea holds a substantial amount of foreign exchange reserves, and its financial system is much more stable than in the past. Then, can we really rest assured? In this video, we examine whether the rise in the exchange rate can be explained simply by a strong dollar or speculative forces. We will then analyze, in turn, the significance of the size of foreign exchange reserves, the possibility of foreign equity capital outflows, changes in the current account surplus, the reality of the Korea-US currency swap, and the role the National Pension Service can play in defending the exchange rate. We must be wary of both extreme claims that "the IMF crisis is repeating itself" and the optimism that "there is absolutely no need to worry." Let’s examine the risk factors in the foreign exchange market currently facing the Korean economy, along with data. How do you view the current exchange rate level?
