Bank Negara, Bank of Korea to renew bilateral swap deal

KUALA LUMPUR, May 13 — Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and the Bank of Korea have agreed to renew their bilateral swap arrangement (BSA).

In a joint statement today, the central banks said the size of this swap arrangement, which allows them to exchange their local currencies to promote bilateral trade for economic development, is maintained at RM15 billion/five trillion won, which follows the BSA signed in 2020.

“The BSA is aimed at further promoting bilateral trade between the two countries and strengthening the financial cooperation between Malaysia and South Korea,” the statement said.

The swap arrangement lasts three years and can be extended mutually between the two central banks.
