Korea's inflation slowdown provides breather for BOK

The Bank of Korea, though taking a wait-and-see approach, is given leeway to ease monetary policy to support growth.

DBS Group Research noted:

Our 2012 growth forecast is cut to 3.1% from 3.4%, on account of the softness of both external and domestic demand.

Inflation forecast for 2012 is also revised down to 2.5% from 3.0%.

The slowdown in inflation provides some leeway for the Bank of Korea to ease monetary policy to support growth. The BOK is, however, taking a wait-and-see approach.

The current account surplus and the adequacy of foreign reserves should help cushion the volatility in the won during global turmoil.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
