> But the fallout is not limited to local government bonds; it impacts the whole of South Korea’s bond market, worth more than $2 trillion. Corporate bonds are considered less safe than local government bonds. If few buyers are brave enough to buy local government bonds under these conditions, even fewer buyers can muster enough courage to buy corporate bonds.
Can someone explain this part? While the knock-on effect on other municipal bonds makes sense, I would have expected this to make corporate bonds more attractive since the demand would have shifted?
