South Korea ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
South Korea
over the past four decades has demonstrated incredible growth and global
integration to become a high-tech industrialized economy. In the 1960s, GDP per
capita was comparable with levels in the poorer countries of Africa and Asia.
In 2004, South Korea joined the trillion dollar club of world economies, and is
currently the world's 12th largest economy. Initially, a system of close
government and business ties, including directed credit and import restrictions,
made this success possible. The government promoted the import of raw materials
and technology at the expense of consumer goods, and encouraged savings and
investment over consumption. The Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 exposed
longstanding weaknesses in South Korea's development model including high
debt/equity ratios and massive short-term foreign borrowing. GDP plunged by
6.9% in 1998, and then recovered by 9% in 1999-2000. Korea adopted numerous
economic reforms following the crisis, including greater openness to foreign
investment and imports. Growth moderated to about 4% annually between 2003 and
2007. Korea''s export focused economy was hit hard by the 2008 global economic
downturn, but quickly rebounded in subsequent years, reaching 6.3% growth in
2010. The US-South Korea Free Trade Agreement was ratified by both governments
in 2011 and went into effect in March 2012. Throughout 2012 the economy
experienced sluggish growth because of market slowdowns in the United States,
China, and the Eurozone. The incoming administration in 2013, following the
December 2012 presidential election, is likely to face the challenges of
balancing heavy reliance on exports with developing domestic-oriented sectors,
such as services. The South Korean economy''s long term challenges include a
rapidly aging population, inflexible labor market, and heavy reliance on
exports - which comprise half of GDP.
