Abstract: The evolving global economic landscape necessitates adaptive monetary policies, especially for economies like South Korea that are deeply integrated with global markets. This research explores the strategic recalibrations of the Bank of Korea’s monetary policy amid fluctuations in global economic uncertainty. Utilizing a sophisticated microeconomic theoretical framework, this study employs Bayesian estimation techniques and impulse response analysis to dissect the dynamic effects of these global shocks on South Korea’s macroeconomic stability and policy direction. Our findings reveal that the Bank of Korea has adeptly navigated through turbulent economic conditions induced by external shocks through well-coordinated policy adaptations. These adaptations, which include both traditional and innovative monetary tools, have been crucial in stabilizing the financial environment and promoting economic growth. By detailing the tailored application of the Taylor rule within the Korean context and strategic foreign exchange interventions by the central bank, this study contributes significantly to the broader discourse on the efficacy of monetary policy in open economies and offers insights on integrating advanced analytical methods into economic policy analysis.
