Economic History | Korea | Short-term interest rates remain low at around 5% and inflation at 2.3% remained subdued throughout 2000. Inflation for 2001 is expected to be around 4%. The spread between short-term money (the overnight call rate) and long-term money (the benchmark 3-year corporate bond rate) fell from its 400-plus basis points high in 2000 to about 200-basis points in May 2001. For the sake of market stability, the Bank of Korea (BOK) maintained until January 2000 its target for the overnight call rate at the comparatively low level of 4.75%. However, the BOK decided to raise its target rate by 25-basis points to 5.0% in February 2000, having judged that market unrest related to the Daewoo bankruptcy had been soothed. (references) |
