Of course, international agreement should be reached as a prior condition for such proposals, through discussions in forums such as the G-20, since they could restrict market principles and give rise to conflicts of interest among countries. I would also point out that for Korea, the bilateral currency swap arrangements have been of considerable help in calming foreign exchange market unrest during this crisis.
Consequently, we will seek to strengthen our international financial cooperation still further by, for example, striving to construct a framework of multilateral currency swap arrangements among countries in the Asian region.
