Consumer price growth in South Korea has remained below one percent for six months in a row. Statistics Korea said on Tuesday consumer prices edged up point-seven-percent on-year in June. That is far lower than the Bank of Korea's target of two percent. Livestock and fisheries product prices rose one-point-eight percent compared to the same month last year. The agency attributed the low inflation rates to sluggish growth in service prices... as well as a drop in the prices of petroleum goods compared to the same period last year.
