Inflation is rearing its ugly head again. Last month, the nation's producer prices gained 3.4 percent over a year ago. Given the time lag, the increase will be reflected in consumer prices over a period of several months.

Adding to the inflationary pressure are a Russian ban on grain exports, increases in domestic utility charges and impending U.S.-led sanctions on Iran, which are certain to raise oil prices. The central bank's 2010 inflation outlook, which puts the consumer price index at 2.8 percent, is already called into question.

No wonder the threat of inflation has become a key cause of concern for the administration. At a recent meeting of senior presidential secretaries, President Lee Myung-bak, warning against a rapid increase in the prices of daily necessities, called for "fundamental measures" to stabilize consumer prices.

That is easier said than done, and all the more so, given what Minister of Strategy and Finance Yoon Jeung-hyun calls an "unusual uncertainty" shrouding the Korean economy -- the combination of escalating inter-Korean tensions, an anticipated slowdown in the world's leading economies and an upsurge in grain prices in the global market.

Apparently sharing the finance minister's concern about the "unusual uncertainty", the Bank of Korea froze its benchmark rate at 2.25 percent on Thursday. The bank's Monetary Policy Committee, which raised the rate for the first time in 23 months last month, said it considered the prospects of a slowdown in the United States and China in making a decision to freeze the rate this month.

Nonetheless, the central bank wanted to warn the domestic market of mounting inflationary pressure when its governor said Korea will have to put a greater emphasis on price stability than steady growth in the futre. His remarks signaled that another rate increase is due next month, for which all market participants will now have to prepare themselves.
