Economic sentiment highest in 11 months: BOK

Meanwhile,.. the country's economic sentiment rose to an 11-month high on the back of a rally in the domestic stock market and the prospects of a second supplementary budget plan.

According to the Bank of Korea, the country's News Sentiment Index stood at 108-point-4-3 as of June 13th, recording the highest level since July of last year.

The index fell to just above 77 on December 10th, in the wake of the emergency martial law declaration, and briefly rebounded to the 100 mark in January.

However, due to concerns over U.S. tariffs, it fell again to the 80-point range before the recent rebound.

The BOK releases its NSI figures every Monday, showing the economic sentiment based on economy-related media outlets.

A figure above 100, means optimism outweighs pessimism.
