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.
