“I’m not worried about the dollar/won exchange rate rising or falling to any specific level,” said Bank of Korea (BoK) Governor Rhee Chang-yong to Bloomberg TV early on late Thursday.
The policymaker also added that the bank's board members wanted to give a warning against betting on an early policy change due to uncertain inflation prospects.
It’s worth noting that the BoK left monetary policy unchanged with the benchmark rate at 3.5% earlier in the week.
USD/KRW seesaws around the lowest levels in a week, making rounds to 1,300 by the press time, after falling the most in one month the previous day.
