South Korea cuts growth outlook, interest rates amid tariff fears
An official at the Bank of Korea told AFP it expected gross domestic product to expand 1.5 percent in 2025, down from its initial estimate of 1.9 percent.
The benchmark interest rate would also be lowered “from the current 3.00 percent to 2.75 percent”, the official said.
The economy grew less than expected in the final three months of 2024 as Yoon’s martial law move hit consumer confidence and domestic demand.
There is also a growing worry about US President Donald Trump’s hardball trade policies that have seen him impose a broad range of levies on some of his country’s biggest trading partners since taking office in January.
