The data also cemented views that the central bank is unlikely to raise interest rates anytime soon amid persistent fears over Greece's debt crisis and further tightening measures from China. "Given the leading indicator trend, it's likely that the economy's momentum will peak in the first quarter and gradually slow throughout the year. With the slowing economy, China's tightening moves and concerns about U.S. housing prices, increasing interest rates isn't an option for the time being," said Lee Sung-kwon, chief economist at Shinhan Investment Corp. The government has repeatedly expressed its opposition to an early interest rate increase, fearing it could threaten the country's economic recovery and prompting investors to push back their expectations for a rate rise deeper into 2010. Industrial output in January was unchanged from December, data from Statistics Korea showed, missing market expectations for a 0.4 percent rise. The factory output index -- which measures manufacturing, mining and electricity output -- grew 36.9 percent in January from a year ago, also below an expected rise of 37.2 percent. The agency's composite leading indicator rose 11.3 percent in January over a year earlier, compared with a revised 11.6 percent annual rise in December. For a graphic on industrial output in South Korea and Japan, double-click: http://graphics.thomsonreuters.com/310/KR_INDPRD0310.gif Financial markets largely ignored the data, with front-end treasury bond futures <KTBc1> up 11 ticks to 110.75 as of 0553 GMT. The output figures came a day after data showing annual consumer inflation in February slowed more than expected from a 9-month high set in January. [ID:nTOE62105K] "Along with the consumer price index data yesterday (the figures) justify keeping a low interest rate policy through the second quarter due to a slowing economy," said June Park, an economist at Woori Investment & Securities. "The central bank is expected to raise rates in July at the earliest, on the condition that employment and consumption improve rapidly." The Bank of Korea next reviews its interest rate policy on March 11, the last monthly meeting for Governor Lee Seong-tae before he leaves office. In February, the central bank kept the 7-day repurchase agreement rate <KROCRT=ECI> on hold at a record low of 2.00 percent for a twelveth consecutive month.
