S.Korea offers crude reserves to ease strain

SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea has offered to loan local refiners as much as a tenth of its crude oil reserves in the latest effort to soften the impact of a deepening global financial crisis.

Refiners would be able to defer costly crude imports for a month if they take up the offer of discounted oil, helping Seoul to make good its promise to narrow its yawning current account deficit and support the tumbling won currency.

But analysts said the loan — an unusual move among nations that normally keep their reserves intact in case of a severe disruption in supply — would provide short-term relief at best.

Seoul has offered to loan refiners 9.6 million barrels of crude from its government reserves at $70 a barrel, but using a deeply discounted won conversion rate that makes the oil cheaper than current spot rates, a document from the state-owned Korea National Oil Corp (KNOC) obtained by Reuters showed.

A source close to the matter said the offer was made to attempt to improve South Korea’s trade account data, as oil is one of the country’s biggest import items.

South Korea has said its balance of payments would turn positive from October and help stabilize the financial market.

One refiner will take up the offer while a second one will not, the source said.

The crude sale would be valued at about $671 million, a small but meaningful sum compared to its $8.4 billion current account deficit in the first eight months of this year on a seasonally adjusted basis.

South Korea is the world’s fifth-largest crude buyer, and crude accounts for a quarter of total imports.

“The government knows that they need solid figures in current account to boost the won’s value,” said Kim Jae-eun, analyst at Hana Daetoo Securities.

“This may work in the immediate future, but the (crude) would eventually have to be made up in coming months,” she added.

State-run KNOC declined to comment on the document.

RESERVED RESERVES

The world’s major industrialized nations built up over 1.5 billion barrels in emergency crude oil reserves after the Arab oil embargo of the 1970s in order to improve their energy security, but most restrict their use to severe supply disruptions such as the 2005 hurricanes in the U.S. Gulf.

But with global financial markets in a tailspin and credit markets all but frozen, world governments have leapt to the aid of imperiled economies and domestic banks. South Korea has been hit harder than many in Asia as its currency dives. Continued…
