with other coordinating banks, the International Monetary Fund
and the Republic of Korea.  The participating UK banks are

markets and easing its ability, and that of the Korean banks, to
manage short-term liabilities.

agreed to rolling over the maturity of their short-term money
placements with the Korean banks until 31 March 1998.
