韩总统室驳斥干预央行独立性指责，强调尊重央行决定
首尔，8月23日 -韩国总统办公室相关人士今日在记者会上驳斥了政府干预韩国银行（央行）独立性的指责。该人士强调，政府尊重央行金融货币委员会的意见，并以尊重央行独立性为前提。
此前，韩国央行在8月22日的金融货币委员会会议上决定维持基准利率在3.5%不变。然而，总统室高层人士在会议结束后发表了罕见声明，对央行维持利率不变的决定表示遗憾，称从刺激内需的角度来看，这一决定有些令人失望。
这一表态引发了外界对政府干预央行货币政策独立性的质疑。一些批评人士认为，总统室的声明对央行造成了不必要的压力，并可能损害央行的独立性。
对此，总统办公室相关人士在今日的记者会上进行了澄清。他表示，政府对央行的决定表示遗憾，是因为政府希望采取措施刺激经济增长，而维持利率不变可能会阻碍这一目标的实现。然而，他强调，政府尊重央行的决定，并不会干预央行的货币政策。
该人士还表示，政府计划在下周出台稳定物价和刺激内需的对策方案，以应对即将到来的中秋佳节。
韩国央行独立性一直是韩国经济政策中的重要议题。近年来，韩国政府和央行之间在货币政策问题上存在分歧，引发了外界对政府干预央行独立性的担忧。
此次总统室的声明再次引发了外界对政府干预央行独立性的关注。未来，韩国政府和央行之间如何协调货币政策，将成为韩国经济发展的重要议题。

Presidential Office Denies Interference in Bank of Korea, Sparking Renewed Debate onIndependence
Keywords: Presidential Office, Refutation, Bank of Korea Independence
Seoul, August 23 – Officials from the South Korean Presidential Office today refuted allegations of government interference in the Bank of Korea’s (BOK) independence during a press conference. The officials emphasized that the government respects the decisions of the BOK’s Monetary Policy Committee and operates on the premise of respectingthe central bank’s independence.
The controversy arose following the BOK’s decision to maintain the benchmark interest rate at 3.5% during its Monetary Policy Committee meeting on August 22. However, high-rankingofficials from the Presidential Office issued an unusual statement following the meeting, expressing disappointment over the BOK’s decision to keep rates unchanged, arguing that it was disheartening from the perspective of stimulating domestic demand.
This statement sparked concerns about governmentinterference in the BOK’s independent monetary policy. Some critics argued that the Presidential Office’s statement put undue pressure on the BOK and could potentially undermine its independence.
In response to these concerns, Presidential Office officials clarified their position during today’s press conference. They acknowledged that the government’s disappointment stemmedfrom its desire to implement measures to stimulate economic growth, which could be hindered by maintaining interest rates. However, they stressed that the government respects the BOK’s decision and will not interfere with its monetary policy.
The officials also stated that the government plans to unveil measures next week to stabilize prices and stimulate domestic demandin anticipation of the upcoming Chuseok holiday.
The independence of the BOK has been a key issue in South Korea’s economic policy. In recent years, disagreements between the government and the BOK on monetary policy have fueled concerns about government interference in the central bank’s independence.
The Presidential Office’s statement has once again brought the issue of government interference in the BOK’s independence to the forefront. How the South Korean government and the BOK coordinate their monetary policy in the future will be a crucial factor in the country’s economic development.
