The amount of cash and deposits held by households fell in August for the first time in more than five years.
The Bank of Korea says households' M2 money supply -- that is, liquid money including cash and deposits with a maturity of less than two years -- dropped by 4-hundred-44 million U.S. dollars on-month in August, marking the first decline since February 2013.
The BOK attributed the dip to a rise in households buying new houses in recent months.
But thanks to more liquidity among corporations and financial institutions, Korea's total M2 supply increased in August by six tenths of a percent on-month and six-point-seven percent on-year, totalling about two-point-three trillion dollars.
