This was a combined result of rising agricultural and energy prices, along with an increase in service prices, and is expected to further increase pressure on the Bank of Korea's Monetary Policy Committee in July to raise the benchmark interest rate. In particular, rising international oil prices and the aftermath of the Middle East conflict are being cited as major causes of the price increase.
