South Korea: Asian tiger still roaring

South Korea has long been considered one of the economic giants of Asia, aided by a high-tech manufacturing sector and strong exports in areas like electronics. In recent years the Korean economy has continued to expand, with 2021 seeing the fastest annual growth rate in over a decade. Growth is predicted to drop slightly in 2022, hit by global headwinds like rising inflation and the war in Ukraine, but is still expected to come in at a healthy 2.6%.

Korean Air: An Asian champion delivers excellence in service

South Korea's exports hit an all-time record of $645bn in 2021, surging a remarkable 26% year-on-year, driving strong economic growth, according to business information service IHS Markit. Exports to the European Union rose 34%, exports to the US by 29%, to China 23%, and to ASEAN 22%. Semiconductor exports rose 29%, while those of petrochemicals soared by 55%. Auto exports jumped 24%, reaching $46.5bn. Exports of ICT products hit an all-time high of $228bn, up 24%. The huge rise in overall trade has lifted the purchasing managers' index, and drove manufacturing growth to 6.6% in 2021. Exports have been lifted by the recovery of key markets, boosted by the rollback of pandemic restrictions and accommodative fiscal and monetary policy in those markets. Other factors behind Korea's economic uptick include consumption; final consumption rose 6.8% yearon-year in the final quarter of 2021. Overall, the country's GDP rose by 4.0% in 2021.

GP Club: The story of entrepreneurial success

Strong investment and exports will drive South Korea's economy in the medium term, according to the latest forecast from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a grouping of affluent nations. The OECD noted that the country has enjoyed "a strong rebound" from the covid-19 pandemic, with exports in particular in the driving seat, while consumption is likely to strengthen further after a slower start. The war in Ukraine has only had a modest impact on economic performance, and the economy will receive a further boost from the country's largest-ever supplementary budget-worth $43bn, or 2.9% of GDP. Fuel tax cuts have helped support demand, and the government is moving to strengthen supply chain resilience and energy security.
