Delinquent Balances on South Korea’s Bogeumjari Loans Triple
Overdue balances on South Korea’s Bogeumjari loans have tripled in three years and eight months.
The loans are a South Korean policy program designed to help people buy homes.
More borrowers are falling behind on repayments, and some cases involve long-lasting arrears.
Their homes can be sold at auction to repay the debt.
But the sale may not cover what borrowers owe, so some still have debt afterward.
There are calls to improve the system so borrowers can get help sooner and fewer homes go to auction.
Delinquent balances on South Korea’s Bogeumjari policy loans tripled over three years and eight months, according to Chosun Ilbo.
More borrowers are failing to repay the loans on time.
Some homes are sent to auction after prolonged arrears.
In some cases, borrowers still owe money after their homes are sold.
