South Korea Plans Up to 222.8 Trillion Won in 2027 Bond Issuance

South Korea plans to issue up to 222.8 trillion won ($162.7 billion) of bonds in 2027, roughly in line with this year’s record, as President Lee Jae Myung advances an expansionary fiscal agenda. The large supply raises potential pressure on sovereign funding costs and bond yields, with broader implications for rates and liquidity in the region.
