据外媒报道,9月2日韩国政府公布数据显示,由于农产品物价稳定,8月通货膨胀率放慢至1.4%。
8月韩国消费者物价指数(CPI)增加1.4%,而7月增幅1.6%。8月涨幅创4月以来最慢增长速度,4月消费者物价攀涨1.5%。
在降息之前,财政部长崔炅焕(Choi Kyung-Hwan)对经济下滑提出警告,表示担心长期低度成长和萎靡不振的内需。

South Korea's consumer prices grew at the slowest pace in four months in August due in part to the stabilization of farming goods prices, a government report showed Tuesday.
The country's consumer price index rose 1.4 percent last month from a year earlier, decelerating from July's 1.6 percent gain. This marked the slowest growth pace since April when consumer prices rose 1.5 percent.
