[Korea.net News, Finance, January 3 2008] Electronic financial transactions rise in Q3


Electronic financial transactions jumped about 17 percent in the third quarter from three months earlier, mainly because online securities trading surged amid a boom in stock markets, the financial watchdog said Thursday (Jan. 3).

In the July-September period, the volume of online securities transactions increased 17.1 percent from the preceding quarter to 1,572 trillion won ($1.69 trillion), the Financial Supervisory Service said.
