S.Korea consumer sentiment drops as food inflation emerges as top election ...
Quick Glance: South Korea: Consumer Sentiment Declines Due to Food Inflation
  • South Korea's consumer sentiment dropped sharply in March due to rising concerns over food prices, becoming a significant political issue in the upcoming elections.

  • The consumer sentiment index decreased to 100.7 in March from 101.9 in February, marking the largest monthly decline since October, according to the Bank of Korea's regular consumer survey.

  • Higher prices of agricultural products have been linked in part to adverse weather conditions, with the opposition Democratic Party (DP) criticizing President Yoon Suk Yeol's administration for economic mismanagement.

  • In response to the situation, the government has implemented measures such as subsidies and reduced tariffs on imported agricultural goods to curb inflation.
