BOK supplies 3.65 tln won in fresh banknotes ahead of Chuseok

The Bank of Korea supplied 3.65 trillion won, equivalent to $2.69 billion, in new banknotes to banks and other financial institutions. This was done over 10 working days to meet increased demand ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

The amount supplied is smaller than last year's 4.44 trillion won. According to the Bank of Korea, this decrease is due to this year's Chuseok holiday being relatively short, lasting four days, compared to seven days in 2025.

This year's two-day Chuseok holiday began on Thursday.
