"Growth Rate Could Fall to 0%, Not an Empty Threat"... Forecasts Slashed Amid Signs of Prolonged Iran War

Despite an export recovery, the South Korean economy faces a 'double whammy' of high oil prices and exchange rates. Goldman Sachs has revised its growth forecast down by 0.3-0.5%p, and the government is considering a supplementary budget of 15-25 trillion KRW. Concerns are growing for the Korean economy, which was expected to see 2% growth driven by the semiconductor industry's recovery.
