26 May
Summary
- Bank of Korea's 2027 GDP forecast is the key meeting focus.
- NH Amundi Asset Management expects 1.9% growth for 2027.

The Bank of Korea is set to hold a crucial policy meeting where its primary focus will be the gross domestic product forecast for 2027. NH Amundi Asset Management has projected that the central bank will anticipate 1.9% economic growth for the year.
This forward-looking projection comes as South Korea's bond market appears to be pricing in an excessive number of central bank rate hikes. This suggests that market participants may expect tighter monetary policy than initially forecasted.
The anticipation of rate increases could significantly influence investment strategies and economic planning across various sectors.
