SEOUL, May 28 - South Korea has revised down its capital ratio guideline for banks to a maximum 10 percent from 12 percent, a regulatory official said on Thursday.

"They have raised capital enough by now, and we will not call on them to stretch themselves further to raise additional amounts," said Yang Hyun-keun, director of the Financial Supervisory Service's (FSS) foreign exchange affairs office.
