Bank of Korea

The seven-day repo rate has been at 2.5% since cuts of 25 basis points in November 2012 and May 2013. 2.5% remains above the current 1.7% 12-month rate of inflation. The latest policy statement continues the dovish tone, revises projected growth and inflation in 2014 and 2015 downward, predicts a moderately paced narrowing of the output gap, and mentions that future policy may be influenced by external developments like the shifts in other countries’ monetary policies.
