Korea Economic Dashboard
A single dashboard for reading Korea's policy rate, market rates, won-dollar exchange rate, FX reserves, inflation, and liquidity on a shared timeline.
As of 2026.05 · USD/KRW 1,491 won · CPI YoY +3.1%
Overview
The numbers to read first
Policy rates, exchange rates, inflation, and FX reserves are the starting point for reading macro pressure.
Rates and market transmission
FX Buffer
Exchange rate and FX reserves
When the won weakens, FX reserves are the market-stability buffer. The level and monthly change should be read together.
USD/KRW and FX reserves
Current account and reserve changes
Prices
Inflation and import pressure
Headline CPI, living costs, core inflation, and import prices separate policy pressure from exchange-rate pass-through.
Inflation rates
Money supply and household loans
Reading
Read it as household pressure
The dashboard turns separate indicators into rate burden, price burden, and external buffer signals.
The bank loan-deposit rate spread is 1.3pt. A wider spread raises the felt burden for borrowers.
Headline CPI is +3.1%, while living-cost inflation is +3.3%. If living costs are higher, household pressure can be stronger than headline CPI suggests.
FX reserves stand at 427.0B USD. During FX stress, both the level and the pace of decline matter.
