VERDICT — CONFIRMED
Korea's broad money supply grew 0.4% in March 2026 from the previous month, the Bank of Korea said on May 13, measuring M2 on a seasonally adjusted, period-average basis.
The figure comes from the central bank's monthly monetary and liquidity aggregates release, the standard reference for Korean money supply data.
The material reviewed did not include the drivers of the increase — the breakdown by instrument or holder — nor the year-on-year growth rate or the accompanying Lf and L broader liquidity measures that typically appear in the full release.
The 0.4% month-on-month reading is official central bank data. Context on whether it marks an acceleration or slowdown from February's pace was not available in the material reviewed and sits in the full statistical tables of the Bank of Korea release.
