韩国央行周三发布的数据显示，韩国3月份生产者价格指数环比上涨1.6%，创下约四年来的最快增速。这一涨幅主要受全球油价上涨背景下石油和化工产品价格走高推动。同比来看，价格上涨了4.1%，为2023年2月以来的最快涨幅。
韩国央行（BOK）周三报告称，作为衡量未来消费通胀的关键指标，生产者价格指数（PPI）在3月份环比上涨1.6%，达到125.24点。这是自2022年4月（当时也上涨了1.6%）以来的最大月度涨幅，延续了自去年9月以来的上升趋势。
工业品价格环比上涨3.5%，其中煤炭和石油产品价格飙升31.9%，化工产品价格上涨6.7%。相比之下，农林水产品价格下跌3.3%，服务价格则保持不变。反映生产者价格和进口价格的国内供应价格指数上涨了3.7%。
此次价格上涨是在中东冲突背景下发生的。自2月底美国和以色列对伊朗发动袭击以来，冲突演变为更广泛的区域性危机，导致供应中断，进而推高了全球油价并扰动了市场。政策制定者已对日益加剧的通胀压力和疲弱的经济增长势头发出警告。
