South Korea Abolishes Controls

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Taking new steps toward liberalizing its economy, South Korea abolished all controls on its currency Tuesday and put new life in its currency and stock markets. In other moves to attract badly needed dollars, the government announced Monday it was willing to let foreigners buy at least one debt-ridden commercial bank. The Finance and Economy Ministry also said South Korea will issue state bonds overseas worth $10 billion. The decisions reflect government efforts to boost sagging overseas confidence in South Korea's pledge to restructure its financial sector and open it to foreign investment.
