Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - South Korea
We have cut our GDP growth forecasts by 0.3ppts to 2.8% in 2022 and by 0.1ppt to 2.8% in 2023 to reflect the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war. While South Korea has limited direct trade links to Russia and Ukraine, the war has led to higher commodity prices that will worsen the terms of trade and raise CPI inflation, which will dampen domestic demand. We now see CPI inflation at 3.3%, up from 3% previously and 2.5% in 2021.
