The Bank of Korea left its policy rate unchanged at 2.50% on Thursday for a second straight meeting, as expected, adopting a wait-and-see stance amid economic and price uncertainties from U.S. tariffs, Yonhap News Agency reported.

The bank said it is focusing more on the pace of slowdown driven by U.S. trade policies as inflation risks ease.

The next policy meeting is set for Oct. 23.
