As of the end of April, the country's foreign exchange reserves came to $376.57 billion, up $1.27 billion from the previous month, according to the BOK.
Suh worked at the BOK London office and the reserve management group before heading the BOK's International Department.
Suh is set to be formally appointed later this month as soon as internal procedures are completed. (Yonhap)
