The Financial Investment Association announced on June 26, 2026, that it has selected companies to report the final closing yields for bonds and commercial paper (CP) for the second half of the year.
The final closing yield serves as a benchmark interest rate and reference rate for the bond and CP markets, published daily by the association. The association selects reporting companies every six months based on their trading performance and price discovery capabilities.
Leading Investment Securities and Heungkuk Securities have been newly included as reporting companies for the second half of the year.
Starting July 1, the reporting companies for bonds will include KB Securities, NH Investment & Securities, Leading Investment Securities, Meritz Securities, Heungkuk Securities, Bukook Securities, Shinhan Investment Corp., Cape Securities, Korea Investment & Securities, and Hanyang Securities, totaling ten firms.
Mirae Asset Securities and SK Securities, which were previously reporting companies, have been excluded.
The final closing yield for bonds is calculated based on 16 types of bonds, including the three-year government bond, which are widely used in the market. The average yield is published after excluding the two highest and two lowest values submitted by the ten reporting companies.
The list of CP final closing yield reporting companies has also been adjusted.
Hyundai Motor Securities has been removed, and Yuanta Securities has been newly selected. Consequently, the CP reporting companies for the second half of the year will consist of NH Investment & Securities, Bukook Securities, BNK Investment Securities, Eugene Investment & Securities, Hanyang Securities, Yuanta Securities, Shinhan Bank, and Hana Bank, totaling eight firms.
The CP final closing yield is calculated based on the yield of A1-rated 91-day commercial paper and is reported by six securities firms engaged in CP brokerage and two banks that conduct comprehensive financial services. The average yield is published after excluding the highest and lowest values submitted.
