The Bank of Korea held its policy rate steady, deferring monetary tightening to allow the government's housing construction push to proceed without headwinds from higher borrowing costs. The central bank is relying on fiscal and supply-side measures to address housing affordability rather than using rate increases to suppress demand. This stance leaves inflation concerns unaddressed through the traditional monetary channel.
