Bank of Korea Gov Rhee says disinflation expected to continue

South Korea’s central bank Governor Rhee Chang-yong spoke in a parliamentary session:

  • said the Bank will consider
    trade-offs among the recent disinflation trend,
    growth and financial
    stability for future monetary policy
    operations

I’m not sure what ‘trade-offs’ he is referring to.

More:

  • disinflation was expected to continue
    after recent
    positive signs
  • noted a pick-up in household
    debt growth
  • noted also heightened volatility in foreign exchange
    markets

The Bank of
Korea is expected to keep its policy rate on
hold at a 15-year
high of 3.50% on Thursday and through the
third quarter of
2024, before a 25-basis-point cut in the final
quarter.
