On the other hand, commercial paper and short-term bond issuance rose 0.6% to 118.8 trillion won. ABS issuance more than doubled to 1.92 trillion won, with primary collateralized bond obligation volume soaring 184.4%. The total outstanding debt increased to 704.7 trillion at the end of March, the release said.
