Concerns among local financiers and experts in South Korea have increased following the recent presidential election in the United States, according to a survey conducted by the Bank of Korea.

The survey found that 56% of respondents expressed worries about potential changes in U.S. policy after Donald Trump's victory. This apprehension about U.S. policy shifts is now considered the second most significant risk for South Korea, after elevated household debt.

The survey highlights the growing unease within the financial community about the potential impact of changes in U.S. governance on the South Korean economy.
