updates: South Korea is experiencing a surge in economic growth, largely driven by demand from abroad, particularly from the US. The country's GDP in the first quarter increased by 3.4% from a year earlier, beating forecasts. Net exports and construction have been vital to this outcome, and household spending is slowly improving. However, despite the economic boom, the average Korean citizen has yet to experience better times, with high levels of debt and concerns about inequality. The country's cultural exports, such as K-pop and cinema, often overshadow its economic achievements. Investor-friendly policies championed by President Yoon Suk Yeol, like tax cuts and union busting, may struggle to gain traction due to his party's defeat in parliamentary elections. The surge in economic growth is not expected to lead to a decrease in interest rates anytime soon. The central bank is concerned about inflation and the weakening of the Korean won due to the strength of the US dollar. South Korea's economic success is not solely dependent on its cultural exports, but also on its production of memory chips for modern electronics and artificial intelligence.
