韓国連邦取引委員会が 大手銀行の融資に関する 秘密結社の疑いを再調査した South Korea's FTC reinvestigates alleged collusion among major banks over loan practices.

韓国のフェアトレード委員会(FTC)は,当該4つの主な銀行が,書類を共有し,貸借対価(LTV)比を調整して合併したという主張について,調査を再開した。 South Korea's Fair Trade Commission (FTC) has reopened an investigation into allegations that the country's four major banks colluded by sharing documents and aligning their loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, which limits how much homeowners can borrow. このコラボレーションは,市場競争を制限し,消費者の支出で銀行の収益を高めている疑いがある. This collusion is suspected of limiting market competition and inflating bank profits at consumers' expense. FTCは当初11月に調査を終結する予定であったが,すぐに今後の監査を期待して,再調査の再開を決めた. The FTC had initially planned to conclude its investigation in November but has decided to reinvestigate, with further on-site inspections expected soon.
