South Korea's Financial Authorities Order Samsung, Major Firms to Self-Regulate Employee Mortgage Lending on July 9

According to the Financial Services Commission, South Korea's financial authorities on July 9 ordered large companies including Samsung Electronics to implement self-regulatory measures for low-interest employee housing loans. The measures include setting first-priority mortgages, restricting loan amounts to properties under 85 square meters in Seoul and six major cities, and prohibiting lending to multiple-home owners. The directive reflects concerns that corporate housing financing programs offering interest rates as low as 1.5% annually on loans up to 500 million won are inflating property prices and circumventing household debt regulations.
