Inflation targeting was a very important operational tool in stabilising the inflation rate in many countries when the inflation rate was running high. Korea was no exception to the deployment of this tool. In the past, Korea suffered from relatively high inflation rates and the introduction of inflation targeting contributed to stabilising inflation through the anchoring of the inflation expectations of private agents. The BoK set the target at 3 per cent and focused its operations on reducing inflation to below the target and thus the inflation targeting operations carried out by the BoK were asymmetric. This chapter conducts an assessment of the inflation targeting that Korea has experienced in the aftermath of the 1997 currency crisis.
