South Korea will delay fulfilling its investment commitment of up to US$20 billion in the US due to currency pressure, Bloomberg reported.

The timeline will be pushed back to after the won has stabilized, the news agency said, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The currency has been hovering around a 16-year low against the US dollar.
