About This Report

  
Abstract:

In the first three quarters of 2016, the economy grew by 2.9%. However, growth has been unbalanced. Construction investment, fuelled by record low interest rates and the relaxation of home-loan restrictions in 2014, has accounted for more than 50% of this growth. And the construction boom is unlikely to be sustained for much longer, not least because the authorities are concerned about high levels of household indebtedness.The slowdown in construction will expose much weaker economic fundamentals in Korea, and so we expect that overall growth will subside over the next 12 months. Private consumption is likely to slow as rising inflation, muted employment growth and high levels of indebtedness will constrain growth in real household incomes. Confidence has also been hit by the country's political crisis. And although export data have improved recently, the external environment remains challenging.Overall, we expect GDP growth will slow from 2.7% in 2016 to 2.5% in 2017.
