South Korea has unveiled a fresh stimulus1 plan, in an attempt to revive growth in its economy. 

韩国政府发布一项新的经济刺激方案，以试图恢复经济增长。
 
Its central bank will inject $1.3bn into banks, which will use it to provide low-interest rate loans to small businesses. 
 
On Monday, it announced a $5.2bn package, which included tax rebates2, to boost domestic demand.
 
South Korea's growth has been hurt by slowing global demand for its exports.
 
Exports account for almost half of South Korea's economic output and the central bank warned the sector3 may remain sluggish4 amid economic uncertainty5. 
 
"The Committee considers the economic recovery in the US to have weakened somewhat and the sluggishness6 of economic activities in the euro area to have deepened," the bank said in its monetary7 policy statement.
 
"Growth has continued to slow in emerging market countries as well, due mostly to the impact of the economic slumps8 in advanced countries."
 
'Missed the timing9'
 
Given the slowdown in global demand and weak domestic consumption, there were expectations that the central bank may also cut its interest rates.
 
However, in a surprise move, the bank kept it key rate unchanged at 3%.
 
Analysts10 said the bank was likely to gauge11 the impact of the stimulus measures before lowering borrowing costs. 
 
"It appears the Korean economy has hit the bottom during the third quarter," said Kim Su-Man of IBK Securities. 
 
"It may pick up in the fourth quarter if the government's latest stimulus measures take effect." 
 
There are also hopes that the expected stimulus measures in the US and eurozone may help boost demand for Korean exports.
 
"It seems the Bank of Korea wanted to wait and see how the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve act next," said So Jae-Yong an economist12 at Hana Daetoo Securities.
 
However, he added that the bank may lower borrowing costs in the coming months, but had "missed the timing for a cut".
