South Korea will conduct a stress test on banks to gauge their capability of securing FX funding during a financial crisis, Reuters reports.

The nation also imposed a ban on financial institutions prohibiting investment in bonds that South Korean issuers offer domestically in foreign currency for securing won funds through conversion.
