USD time deposit rate at Korean banks
Dollar deposits in Korea track international rates rather than the Korean policy rate, so they can pay materially more or less than a won deposit at the same bank in the same month. One reading is a snapshot; a run of them is a record of what holding dollars in Korea actually paid, which nothing in English keeps.
