BANK OF KOREA reiterated a hawkish stance in its semiannual Financial Stability Report, saying accelerating Seoul-area house prices, expanding household debt and greater leverage in asset purchases could amplify financial imbalances and justify a further rate increase at an appropriate time. The report said the financial system remains broadly stable thanks to strong growth, resilient financial institutions and a healthy external payments position, but warned credit risk is rising among vulnerable households and firms despite banks’ intact capital and liquidity buffers. It noted the benchmark rate has been held at 2.5% since H2 2025 and, given inf pressure, economic conditions and financial-stability risks, the bank considers it necessary to raise the policy rate at an appropriate time.
