South Korea's foreign reserves rose slightly in December but still hit a five-year low.

South Korea's foreign exchange reserves rose slightly to $415.6 billion in December, the lowest December level in five years. The increase was due to higher year-end dollar deposits and profits from managing reserves. However, foreign securities like U.S. Treasuries decreased by $5.72 billion. Despite the overall decline, South Korea remains the ninth-largest holder of foreign reserves globally.
