Snippet:
Bank of Korea Gov. Shin Hyun-song bangs the gavel to open a Monetary Policy Committee meeting at the central bank in Seoul on May 28, 2026. The central bank kept its benchmark rate unchanged at 2.5 percent, as lingering uncertainty in the Middle East prompted a cautious stance amid intensifying risks of inflation and currency weakness.
