South Korea's central bank has lowered interest rates to bolster its export-driven economy, responding to pressures from the US tariff war. The Bank of Korea also significantly reduced its annual growth forecast to 0.8 percent, reflecting rising global uncertainties and lower-than-anticipated first-quarter growth. This rate cut brings lending rates to their lowest level since October 2022.
