Park on Korea's bank supervisory arrangements

In a speech on 'Korea's experience in the choice of bank supervisory arrangements' given on 12 February, Dr Seung Park of the Bank of Korea said he thinks it is crucial that the supervisory agency be required to consult with the central bank before the revision of prudential regulations.

Korea's current supervisory system was introduced in some haste under the extraordinary situation prevailing in the aftermath of the currency crisis six years ago. Therefore, there have been some frictions between the institutions concerned with financial supervision.

In the course of time, its shortcomings have been made good to a considerable extent, but to my mind a number of areas still call for improvement.

I venture the hope, Park concluded, that Korea's experience may serve as a useful reference for member countries in discussing the reorganization of financial supervisory systems.
