[Bank of Korea Warns of Increased Market Volatility, Pledges Enhanced Risk Monitoring] The Bank of Korea (BOK) said on Thursday that major domestic price indicators have recently experienced increased volatility and pledged to strengthen its monitoring of the impact of risk factors on the domestic market. At a post-Lunar New Year market assessment meeting, Deputy Governor Yoo Sang-dai noted that global financial markets remained generally stable during the Lunar New Year holiday. However, uncertainties persist, including concerns about the monetary policy stances and fiscal expansion measures of major economies, the debate over the profitability of artificial intelligence (AI), and geopolitical risks.
