SEOUL, Oct. 11 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's central bank posted nearly 17 trillion won (US$12.5 billion) in returns from foreign assets in 2025, helped by a weaker won and a rally in stock markets, data from the bank showed Sunday.

The Bank of Korea (BOK) recorded 16.9 trillion won in returns on foreign assets last year, up 32 percent from a year earlier, according to data submitted to a lawmaker from the main opposition People Power Party (PPP).

"The won's weakness against the dollar and a rally in stock markets drove up net income linked to foreign assets," the BOK said in its 2025 annual report, released in March.

Returns on foreign assets rose from around 8 trillion won annually in 2016-18 to 13.8 trillion won in 2021, before plunging to 3.9 trillion won in 2022.

Won-denominated returns from securities holdings, interest on bank deposits, dividends and stock sales rebounded to 4.9 trillion won in 2023, and jumped to 12.8 trillion won in 2024.

首尔，10 月 11 日（韩联社）——韩国央行周日公布的数据显示，受韩元贬值和股市上涨的推动，韩国央行预计到 2025 年将从外国资产中获得近 17 万亿韩元（125 亿美元）的回报。

根据提交给主要反对党国民力量党议员的数据，韩国银行（BOK）去年的海外资产收益为 16.9 万亿韩元，比上年增长 32%。

韩国央行在3月份发布的2025年年度报告中表示：“韩元对美元走弱以及股市上涨推高了与海外资产相关的净收入。”

2016-2018 年，海外资产的年回报率约为 8 万亿韩元，到 2021 年增至 13.8 万亿韩元，之后在 2022 年暴跌至 3.9 万亿韩元。

以韩元计价的证券持有收益、银行存款利息、股息和股票销售收益在 2023 年反弹至 4.9 万亿韩元，并在 2024 年跃升至 12.8 万亿韩元。
