South Korea’s broad money supply, measured by the M2 aggregate, accelerated in December 2025, signaling a further expansion in liquidity across the economy. According to the latest data updated on 13 February 2026, M2 growth rose to 7.30% in December, up from 6.80% in November 2025.
The pickup in M2 growth suggests that the volume of money circulating through South Korea’s financial system continued to increase at the end of 2025, potentially reflecting stronger credit activity, higher deposit balances, or a combination of both. The December reading marks a noticeable step-up from November’s pace, indicating a continued supportive monetary backdrop heading into 2026.
