Credited from: REUTERS

  • South Korea's consumer inflation accelerated to 1.9% in December, up from 1.5% in November, according to Statistics Korea.
  • This increase marks the fastest annual rise in four months, exceeding the forecasted 1.7%.
  • Despite the rise, inflation remains below the central bank's target of 2% due to weaker domestic demand.
  • The won weakened by 5.2% against the dollar in December, driven by political uncertainties and affecting import prices.
  • The Bank of Korea anticipates inflation may continue to rise, yet stay below 2% in early 2024 due to ongoing weak demand.
