BOK hikes policy rate by quarter point to 3.25 pct

Bank of Korea (BOK) Gov. Rhee Chang-yong bangs the gavel to open a Monetary Policy Committee meeting at the central bank in Seoul on Nov. 24, 2022. The central bank raised its policy rate by a quarter percentage point to 3.25 percent to tame persistently high inflation but slowed the pace of monetary tightening amid worries over high borrowing costs and their impact on economic growth.
