Corporate foreign currency deposits held by Korean companies stood at $117.87 billion in September, the largest amount on record, according to figures attributed to resident foreign exchange deposit trend data.
The September figure of $117.87 billion marks an all-time high for corporate dollar holdings, based on the resident foreign currency deposit statistics cited in the claim. The data reflects the aggregate dollar-denominated deposits held by domestic companies during the month.
The figure traces to official foreign exchange deposit trend reporting for the relevant period. Supporting materials included related news photographs published by Korean business media. Some direct documentation, including a search for the underlying deposit trend release, could not be retrieved directly due to access restrictions, and an alternative mirror copy of the data via KDI was consulted instead.
Given the available evidence, the claim that September corporate dollar holdings reached $117.87 billion, a record high, is judged to be True.
Verdict: True
