# Likelihood of capital outflow low in case of reversal in Korea-U.S. rate gap | Yonhap News Agency

> A Korea Capital Market Institute analyst said capital outflow from South Korea is unlikely even if the interest rate gap with the US reverses, since the won is expected to stay strong. The Fed raised its key rate to 1 to 1.25 percent, while the Bank of Korea has held at a record low 1.25 percent and few expect a hike this year.
