As reported by Bpaynews, the Bank of Korea (BoK) kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2.5% in line with market expectations, citing a fragile won and inflation risks. The decision balances easing hopes against imported inflation pressures and the impact of housing market cooling measures. The BoK projects 1.0% GDP growth and 2.1% inflation for 2025, with Governor Rhee Chang-yong’s press conference expected to influence USD/KRW and market sentiment.
