BOK holds rates steady at 2.5% for 8th straight meetingAdded:
On the economic front, the Bank of Korea has announced that its benchmark interest rate will remain at 2.5%.
Today's decision came at the first monetary policy board meeting chaired by the newly appointed Governor Shinyan and marks the central bank's eighth straight rate freeze since May last year. Caution appears to reflect concerns over inflation, slowing growth, and heightened uncertainty surrounding geopolitical risks and exchange rate instability. The central bank is also expected to release updated growth and inflation forecast later in the day.
