一、为缓解韩元升值压力,韩国进一步放宽外汇管制韩国央行自去年10月起已三度升息,韩元兑美元在5月中旬升至八年半高点,今年以来韩元兑美元已升值7%,超越日元兑美元4%的升幅。韩元升值抑制了韩国出口,而出口是近年韩国经济增长的主要动力,因此,韩国官员对韩元兑美元和日元在近期大幅上升可能损害韩国出口感到忧虑。5月初公布的数据证实了韩国政府的担忧并不是空穴来风。数据显示,韩国4月出口较上年同期增长12.7%,低于市场预估的增长13.6%。主要由于韩元升值减少了出口。同时,韩国4月进口较上年同期增加14.0%至242.3亿美元,令贸易顺差从上年同期的顺差16.3亿
First, to ease the pressure of appreciation of the won, South Korea to further relax foreign exchange control South Korea’s central bank since October last year, interest rates have been raised three times since the won against the dollar in mid-May rose to eight and a half years high, the won against the dollar this year has risen 7% , Surpassing the 4% increase in the yen against the U.S. dollar. South Korean exports have been dampened by the appreciation of the won, which is the main driver of South Korea’s economic growth in recent years. Therefore, South Korean officials are worried about the strong rise of the South Korean won against the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen in the near future, which may jeopardize South Korean exports. Data released in early May confirmed that the South Korean government’s concerns are not groundless. Data show that South Korea’s exports in April increased 12.7% from a year earlier, lower than the market forecast 13.6% increase. The decrease was mainly due to the appreciation of the won. Meanwhile, South Korea’s April imports increased 14.0% over the same period of last year to $ 24.23 billion, making the trade surplus a surplus of 1.63 billion from a year earlier
