All 19 South Korean Financial Institutions Expect BOK to Raise Rates by 25bp to 2.75% in July

According to a Yonhapinfomax survey of 19 domestic and foreign financial institutions on July 10, all respondents expect South Korea's central bank to raise its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 2.75% this month. No experts anticipated consecutive rate hikes. Most of the 18 responding analysts surveyed expect rates to remain at 2.75% through September, with one additional increase forecast for October or November. Analysts cited strong economic growth, inflation reaching 3%, and rising leverage as supporting the July rate hike, alongside persistent weakness in the won at levels above 1,500 to the dollar.
