HDC Economic Research Institute Forecasts US Appropriate Interest Rate Above 4%... Korea Needs to Prepare for Tightening
HDC Economic Research Institute announced on the 12th that the appropriate interest rate in the US is likely to exceed 4% in the second half of this year, and the Korean economy needs to prepare for the resulting US-led tightening shock. According to the report released by HDC Economic Research Institute, the appropriate interest rate in the US for the second quarter of this year was estimated at 3.82% per annum, which is higher than the current target range of the US Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rate of 3.50-3.75%. The appropriate interest rate is a theoretical interest rate that helps the economy recover to its potential growth rate without overheating prices or increasing pressure for economic recession. The institute calculated this figure by applying the Taylor rule, which is widely used to gauge the appropriate level of monetary policy.
