According to the financial sector on the 10th, the five major commercial banks (KB· Shinhan, Hana, Woori, NH Nonghyup), the Korea Development Bank, and the Industrial Bank of Korea signed a contract with Saemaul Finance Firm to purchase RP (repurchase agreement) one after another over the weekend and this day.

It is a contract for each bank to receive treasury bonds and monetary stabilization securities bonds held by Saemaul Finance Firm as a complement (purchase of RP) and provide liquidity.
