South Korea's Economic Growth Hampered by Political Turmoil

Reported about 14 hours ago

For the entire year, the economy grew 2%, below expectations. Investment and consumer sentiment weakened, while exports marginally increased. Amid political instability and concerns about US policy, finance officials are exploring fiscal measures and adjustments to boost economic performance.
