MeridStreet AI summary

The Bank of Korea supplied 3.65 trillion won, or $2.69 billion, in new banknotes ahead of the Chuseok holiday. This move is intended to meet increased demand for cash during the holiday period, which is shorter than last year's seven days. The reduced supply of fresh banknotes is likely due to the shorter duration of this year's Chuseok holiday. This development may have a limited impact on the overall economy and financial markets in South Korea.
