Economic History | Korea | After the ROKG introduced high interest rates late in 1997 as part of its IMF agreement, the ROKG returned to a low-interest rate policy in 1998. High interest rates were intended to ensure foreign currency liquidity and stabilise the exchange rate at a time when capital outflows rose rapidly due to Korea's weakened international credibility.
