韩国银行准备削减利率, 以刺激韩国经济步履维艰。 The Bank of Korea is set to cut interest rates to boost South Korea’s faltering economy.

根据Yonhap Infomax的民意测验,韩国银行(BOK)预计下周会将其政策利率削减0.25个百分点, The Bank of Korea (BOK) is expected to cut its policy rate by 0.25 percentage points next week to support South Korea's struggling economy, according to a poll by Yonhap Infomax. 这是因为国内需求疲软,而且该国年增长率可能下降,低于2%的潜能。 This move follows weak domestic demand and a potential drop in the country's yearly growth rate below its 2% potential. 英国统计局定于星期二提出订正增长预测,该预测可能使预期增长率从以前的1.9%降低到1.6%左右。 The BOK is set to present a revised growth forecast on Tuesday, which may lower the expected growth rate to around 1.6% from the previous 1.9%. 该国的商业情绪也达到了四年多来的最低点。 Business sentiment in the country has also reached its lowest point in over four years.
