One survey shows that the South Korea central bank is expected to stand pat next week and hint at possible rate cuts in the future. Out of 21 economists surveyed, 19 expect the South Korea central bank to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.25% at the meeting on November 28, while the other two predict a 25 basis point cut to 3.00%. A citigroup economist stated that the South Korea central bank committee is expected to have diverging opinions, with at least one member requesting a rate cut, while most members choose to temporarily hold rates steady but will relax them in the short term. A Nomura Securities analyst predicts that due to slowing exports and weak domestic demand, the Bank of Korea will lower its economic growth outlook.
