Citigroup düşürdü Güney Kore'nin gelecek yılki GSMH yükseliş tahminini %1.5'e, Güney Kore Merkez Bankası'nın gelecek ay faiz indireceği tahmin ediliyor.

Citi released a report, indicating that the severity of South Korea's economic sentiment deterioration this month is more serious than expected, and slightly lowered its GDP forecasts for the next two years by 0.1 percentage points to 2.1% and 1.5% respectively. The bank slightly lowered its GDP growth forecast for the end of this year by 0.1 percentage points to a quarterly increase of 0.3%, while raising its GDP growth forecast for the first quarter of next year by 0.1 percentage points to a quarterly increase of 0.6%. Looking ahead to the first quarter of next year, the bank expects South Korea to adopt an expansionary policy, including a predicted interest rate cut by the Central Bank of South Korea to 2.75% in mid-January, as well as the government proposing an additional budget of 30 trillion Korean won (equivalent to approximately 1.1% of next year's GDP). The bank predicts that the Central Bank of South Korea will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in January, April, July, and October next year, with the final interest rate expected to be 2%.
