00:02It's Monday, September 21st.
00:05Let's break down what's happening in Korea's financial sector.
00:08SBI Savings Bank now holds about 5.1 trillion won deposits maturing within a year.
00:14Only 8.9% of its loans mature in that same window.
00:18That mismatch is raising fresh concerns about bank-run resilience.
00:23The report examined maturity mismatches across Korea's savings bank industry.
00:28Short-term deposits are increasingly funding much longer-term loans at several major players.
00:34Regulators and industry watchers are now questioning whether current buffers are adequate.
00:38Here's what the numbers show.
00:405.1 trillion won, roughly $3.69 billion, is what SBI Savings Bank holds in deposits maturing within a year.
00:51Just 8.9% of its loan book matures within that same one-year window.
00:56Other major players, including OK and Welcome, are showing similar long-duration lending patterns funded by short-term deposits.
01:04Separately, debt restructuring support for individual borrowers fell 34%, even as legal action against roughly 1,000 people over delinquent
01:12student loans moved forward.
01:14So what does this mean for financial institutions and regulators?
01:18Earlier, we said SBI's deposit and loan maturities are badly mismatched.
01:22Here's what that actually means for you.
01:24A sudden deposit outflow could strain savings banks that have loaded up on long-duration loans without matching funding.

01:38Regulatory guidance on maturity matching requirements for savings banks.
01:42Deposit flow data at SBI, OK, and Welcome in coming months.
