韩国财政部：预测2026年GDP增​​长率为3.0%，高于此前预期的2.0%。

美联储理事沃勒：工作组将研究是否以及在多大程度上可以进一步缩减资产负债表。

South Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance said on Tuesday it has raised its 2026 GDP forecast to 3.0% from a January projection of 2.0%, citing strong semiconductor exports and fiscal stimulus including a supplementary budget to offset Middle East conflict shocks. Last year’s growth was 1.1%. The ministry now expects average consumer inflation in 2026 of 2.6%, up from 2.1% previously; it sees H2 inflation easing if geopolitical tensions ease and oil falls, but flags upside risk from fragile Middle East peace and weather-driven energy and agricultural price volatility. It projects 2027 GDP and inflation at 2.2% each. Exports remain the main growth driver on sustained chip demand. The ministry forecasts a record 2026 current-account surplus of $290bn, well above its prior $135bn estimate.
