Monetary Policy Decision
The Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Korea decided today to maintain the Base Rate at its current level (2.00%) for the intermeeting period.
Domestic economic activity has continued on a recovering trend, which is expected to be maintained. Exports have risen and domestic demand has steadily increased. There still, however, remains uncertainty as to the economic growth path due to the problems of excessive government debt in some countries.
Consumer price inflation has decelerated somewhat. It is anticipated to be stable for some time given the recent movements of international raw material prices. In the real estate market, transactions have remained inactive even though prices have risen moderately.
In the financial markets, stock prices have rebounded and the Korean won has appreciated in line with alleviation of international financial market unrest, such as the government debt crises in some european countries. Mortgage lending has increased slightly due to seasonal factors.
Looking ahead, the Committee will maintain the accommodative policy stance for the time being in such a way as to help sustain the trend of recovery in economic activity.
