 "South Korea President Yoon Suk Yeol calls strategy meeting to boost chip, battery sectors")
Seoul: In order to boost the competitiveness of the country’s rechargeable battery and semiconductor sectors, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol ordered on Monday a national strategy meeting. The comment came a day before the country’s central bank is widely expected to leave the interest rates steady for a second consecutive meeting on Tuesday to support the slowing economy. South Korea’s economy, heavily dependent on trade and chip exports, has been decelerating in the face of a weakening global economy and still-sluggish demand from neighbouring China. Local consumers are also holding back on spending after interest rate rises. South Korean battery and chip shares rallied in early trade on Monday. LG Energy Solution shares were up 2.76% as of 2:36 p.m.(0536 GMT) compared to the wider KOSPI’s 0.94% rise, while SK Hynix shares saw a 2.58% jump.
