Abstract:

Latest monthly data indicate that even though domestic demand may have lost some momentum towards the end of 2015, it remained fairly healthy, while export receipts continued in the red. We expect annual GDP growth to have stayed at 2.7% in Q4. Looking forward, growth is forecast to recover to 3% in 2016 as a whole, supported by expansionary monetary and fiscal policies. However, given the worries about Chinese growth and the uncertainty in the financial markets, the risks are tilted to the downside.The New Year started on a gloomy note as the KRW fell to its lowest level against the US$ since 2010. The sell-off in the won was a result of the high volatility in Chinas financial markets that deepened concerns about Chinas growth, increased tension with North Korea after the North claimed to have successfully tested a hydrogen bomb, and the start of normalization in US monetary policy. Against this background, we forecast that the KRW may stay above the 1200 per US$ level throughout 2016 and 2017.
