In South Korea the interest rates decisions are taken by the Bank of Korea’s (BOK) Monetary Policy Committee. The official interest rate is the Bank of Korea Base Rate which was changed from overnight call rate on March 2008.

Latest Updates

The Bank of Korea kept its base rate unchanged at 1.25 percent on January 17th 2020, as widely expected, amid easing global trade tensions and signs of domestic economic recovery following efforts from the government to step up fiscal spending. Policymakers said they will maintain accommodative monetary policy stance ahead as pressures on the demand side will remain low and the economy will grow moderately. In this process, they will judge whether to adjust monetary policy accommodation, while carefully monitoring developments in global trade disputes, the overseas countries and geopolitical risks.
