Abstract
This paper evaluates the structural transition of Korea’s financial system from three perspectives - the macro flow of funds, financial sector consolidation, and lending practices of financial intermediaries. We find that the development of a market-based financial system has been limited due to the ‘bank-first’ restructuring policy combined with the low risk appetite of firms and households. Second, the marked improvement in the profitability and capital soundness of financial firms may not be sustainable as asset size and economies of scale-based profitability may not persist. Third, the corporate lending practices of financial intermediaries seem to have taken steps forward. However, information production and risk sharing roles of financial intermediaries remain far from fully functional.
