đŸ‡°đŸ‡· South Korea’s Growth Outlook Upgraded

Citi economist Kim Jin-wook raised South Korea’s GDP growth forecast to 3.8% for 2026 and 3.3% for 2027, despite a temporary slowdown in August industrial production.

The upgrade reflects a recovery in the auto sector and strong manufacturing activity, supported by the ongoing semiconductor boom.

Citi expects South Korea’s chip-led economic expansion to continue through 2028. 📈
