[THE INVESTOR] Korea’s central bank on Aug. 31 kept its key rate unchanged for August.

In a widely expected move, the monetary policy board of the Bank of Korea voted to hold the key rate steady at 1.25 percent, extending its wait-and-see approach for the 14th consecutive month.

In June last year, the central bank made a surprise rate cut, citing a need to stimulate the lackluster economy amid a prolonged economic slowdown.
