영어 독해 #기사 #경제: What falling won means for Korea

by 커피 라이터 coffee writer 2025. 1. 3.


The Korean won continues to struggle with sharp devaluation against the dollar as the country is pressured by rising tensions in local politics and the reshaped global trade environment.

On Friday, the won's value against the greenback touched 1,486.7 won during intraday trading. It was the first time the won-dollar exchange rate had hit the 1,480 won bar in nearly 16 years since reaching 1,488.5 won on March 16, 2009, amid the global financial crisis.

The weakening of the Korean won puts pressure on import prices, including energy. For Korea, a country heavily dependent on energy imports, this leads to higher prices of all goods. Higher prices lead to reduced domestic consumption, weighing the economy down.

Under such circumstances, consumer price growth, which in the past three months has stabilized at the 1 percent range, could spike -- putting pressure on the Bank of Korea to cut its policy rate, which currently stands at 3 percent. While the central bank projected consumer prices to rise by 2 percent next year, the strong dollar could agitate the growth.
