South Korea's Central Bank Expected to Raise Rates by 25 Basis Points to 2.75% on July 16

According to a Yonhapinfomax survey of 19 domestic and international experts, all participants expect the Bank of Korea to raise its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 2.75% at the Monetary Policy Committee meeting on July 16. The rate increase is anticipated due to strong economic growth, persistent inflation, elevated exchange rates, and rising property prices. However, forex market participants noted that the rate hike has already been largely priced into the market, making it unlikely that the Korean won will strengthen significantly following the announcement unless the central bank delivers an unexpectedly hawkish signal or implements a larger 50 basis point increase.
