A member of the Bank of Korea's monetary policy board has emphasized the ongoing need for the central bank to maintain a cautious stance against potential threats to financial stability. The remarks highlight the delicate balancing act faced by policymakers as they navigate economic recovery, inflationary pressures, and vulnerabilities within the financial system.
