BOK Holds Key Rate at 3% After Two Hikes
The Bank of Korea (BOK) kept its benchmark interest rate steady at 3 percent on Thursday, Oct. 22, after raising it by 0.25 percentage points in both July and August. Yonhap reports the freeze was unanimous, and Governor Shin said the earlier back-to-back hikes give the BOK time to assess conditions. The hold was widely expected, according to the Korea Times, and Business Korea notes the BOK is adopting a wait-and-see approach to gauge the impact of its previous moves.
