Citibank analyst Jin-Wook Kim said that South Korea's commitment to invest 350 billion US dollars in the US may put pressure on the won. As a result of the 1997-1998 financial crisis, South Korea is unlikely to use 416 billion US dollars of foreign exchange reserves, so public institutions may need to raise 20 billion to 30 billion US dollars in foreign currency every year. Citi anticipates that South Korea will require the US to provide solutions to potential foreign exchange shocks and seek to extend investment commitments.
