Corea: Tasa sin cambio en 3.25%

Patrick Signoret

El banco central mantuvo la tasa de política monetaria sin cambio en 3.25%, como esperaban TransEconomics y el consenso.

Comunicado del Banco de Corea:

Going forward the Committee expects the pace of global economic recovery to be very moderate, and judges that risk factors still exist, stemming for instance from the persistence of the sovereign debt problems in Europe and the slumps in major country economies, and from geopolitical risks in the Middle East.

In Korea, economic growth has slowed, with domestic demand subdued overall and exports also decreasing. On the employment front, however, the uptrend in the number of persons employed is being sustained, led by the private sector. The Committee anticipates that the domestic economic growth rate will gradually return to its long-term trend level going forward…

In the coming months, factors including the easing of demand-side pressures will work in favor of price stability, but the Committee recognizes the presence of potentially destabilizing factors such as the ongoing high inflation expectations and the geopolitical risks in the Middle East.

Looking ahead, the Committee, while closely monitoring financial and economic risk factors both at home and abroad, as well as the evolution of inflation expectations, will conduct monetary policy so as to stabilize consumer price inflation at the midpoint of the inflation target over a medium-term horizon amid continuing sound growth of the economy.
