comment

 

1200 is said to be a parting line for a long time,

Despite the desperate intervention with abundant funding,

Over the past few days, the won's value of more than 1200 stands out.

Today is the last danger line 1250 .

I think they are begging for swaps in Japan behind the scenes

But you must never respond to a country that returns your favors.

You should have learned from the response after saving twice.

Lack of dollar funds?

What country are you talking about ?

Certainly, the country that prepared the highest foreign currency reserves in the past and said that it was OK

I think it's a different country.

Japan should never be involved in this matter

It is not grateful to have returned even if you have exchanged in the past currency swap

Rain and hail of actions and insults insulting Japan

If it is not our country Japan but other countries, it may be a war

The relationship with such a person is only a place that damages national interests or a stain of Japan in Japan

The focus on focusing on China only has accumulated.

But China doesn't do anything to Korea.

Don't ask Japan for a currency swap if you make a mistake.

Isn't the foreign currency reserve the highest ever?

counter-measure? ? ?

There is no place to lend dollars to won anymore.

The dollar borrowed when swapping with Japan has not yet been redeemed from your country. . .

Maybe two Japanese megabanks have loaned dollars? ! ! !

If that is the case, we must withdraw assets from Korea as soon as possible! ! !

Will you announce tomorrow?
From today's evening to tomorrow morning,
Under the water (Underground negotiations)
Korea is asking Japan for a swap.
Or Korea may ask Japanese megabanks to increase their credit facilities.
Anyway, please stop it.
And if we couldn't make any announcements tomorrow, that would be a laugh.

South Korea swaps with 7 countries, so it should be OK.

Don't be fooled by Prime Minister Abe, Korea ’s special technique,
