SOUTH KOREA: Consumer Confidence Declines .
SOUTH KOREA
- Ahead of this week’s BOK decision, today’s consumer confidence numbers will be watched closely by the voting members.
- The consumer has been at the forefront of the concerns held by authorities as cost-of-living pressures, particularly housing, have seen confidence levels decline.
- November’s consumer confidence release came in at 100.7 (down from 101.7 prior) and barely above the 100 reading. (A reading above 100 indicates more households are positive).
- Respondents’ inflation expectations for the next 12 months remain unchanged at +2.8%.
