South Korea completed its first offshore won payment for foreign investment, executed through a regional branch in an operational milestone for local capital markets. The transaction bypassed traditional onshore banking requirements following regulatory reforms aimed at broadening international market access. WOORI FINANCIAL-SPON ADR facilitated the settlement from its Singapore branch without disclosing financial terms of the deal.
