The Bank of Korea on Thursday kept its policy interest rate unchanged at 3.50% for the fifth consecutive meeting amid growing concern over the weaker economy and the steadily falling headline inflation rate, Wowkorea reported.

The decision was widely expected as the country suffers from weak exports.

The next meeting is scheduled for October 19.
