South Korea's Pension Fund Seeks Licence to Invest in Indian Government Bonds
South Korea's National Pension Service, the world's third-largest pension fund with over $1.3 trillion in assets, is seeking a licence to invest in Indian government bonds through a new, simplified compliance route offered by India's market regulator. India aims to attract more foreign capital into its debt market by easing registration, lowering taxes, and targeting global bond indices. This effort follows a decline in foreign equity investments and seeks to diversify funding sources amid the rupee's weakness against the U.S. dollar.
