# BOK Governor Lee: Won at 1,430 'More Comfortable,' Pension Framework Decision in 3-6 Months - Seoul Economic Daily

> BOK Governor Rhee said the won's current level near 1,430 per dollar is 'a little bit more comfortable' and that the gap with fundamentals has narrowed. He attributed the late-2025 slide partly to National Pension Service overseas investment, and said a pension framework decision is expected within 3-6 months.

## Why it matters

A won near 1,430 reduces the local-currency cost of dollar-priced feed imports relative to late-2025 levels. Future pension policy could affect currency direction and therefore Korean feed costs.
