[The Bank of Korea Likely to Hold Steady This Week] According to a report by Jinse Finance, the Bank of Korea is likely to keep interest rates unchanged for the second consecutive time at its policy meeting on Thursday. A survey conducted by *The Wall Street Journal* among 27 economists showed that 20 economists expect no change in interest rates, while the remaining 7 anticipate a rate cut. Goldman Sachs economists, led by Goohoon Kwon, stated in a report that maintaining a dovish stance would give the Bank of Korea room to monitor household debt trends, assess the effects of ongoing fiscal stimulus, and track the Federal Reserve's policy stance. Goldman Sachs predicts that the Bank of Korea will lower interest rates in October. Most economists expect the Bank of Korea to slightly raise its 2025 GDP and inflation forecasts, citing stronger-than-expected economic growth data in the second quarter.
