【Survey: South Korean Central Bank to Pause Rate Cuts in July】Thirty-three economists surveyed by Reuters expect the Bank of Korea to keep the benchmark rate unchanged at 2.50% on July 10, but anticipate a resumption of rate cuts next month to support economic growth in South Korea, where household debt is high. Data from the South Korean government shows that mortgage loans increased by 5.6 trillion won (4.1 billion USD) in May, up from 4.8 trillion won in April. This rise may hinder the central bank's consecutive rate cuts, although it remains on a path of overall easing.
