But the reading was in line with the central bank’s estimate of 0.4% for this year, which it revised downward in November from a 0.7% projection made in July, underscoring a high chance of further policy easing in 2020.(Reporting by Joori Roh; Editing by Choonsik Yoo, Kim Coghill) 2019-12-31 01:00:00
