S Korea central bank governor nominee Shin Hyun-song stated that, based on a series of assessments, the current interest rate of 2.5% is broadly at a neutral level, indicating there is no urgent need for significant adjustments to monetary policy at present. However, he emphasized that estimates of the neutral rate are subject to considerable uncertainty, and the central bank should consider not only the neutral rate but also overall financial conditions and the impact of policy.

The S Korea central bank kept its policy rate unchanged last week, saying it is premature to adjust policy given uncertainties surrounding the war in Iran. Shin noted that the recent weakening of the won was mainly driven by external factors, including rising oil prices and heightened safe-haven sentiment triggered by tensions in the Middle East. Meanwhile, heavy selling in the S Korea stock market by foreign investors has further increased downward pressure on the won.

He added that the National Pension Services expansion of its currency hedging scale would help alleviate imbalances in the foreign exchange market during periods of heightened volatility. At the same time, diversifying funding sources for overseas investments, such as issuing foreign-currency bonds, could reduce demand for the US dollar and help limit pressure from exchange rate fluctuations.
