South Korean tech firms like SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics are expected to pay massive bonuses to workers, potentially reaching nearly $500,000 each. The Bank of Korea warns these large bonuses could increase inflation by spreading wage growth beyond the IT sector. This spending surge has already boosted sales in luxury goods and department stores near chip production areas, driving up shares of major retailers like Lotte Shopping, Hyundai Department Store, and Shinsegae. The central bank remains cautious as inflation is already above target, projecting 2.7% for the year, and these exceptional bonuses may add further upward pressure on prices.
