South Korea’s snap presidential election comes at a critical juncture. Its next leader inherits an economy grappling with faltering domestic demand, an aging population and mounting pressure from a protectionist US administration. Will the election outcome mark a shift in Korea’s economic outlook – or simply more of the same?
Join economists from our Asia and Markets teams for this post-election online briefing on Wednesday 4th June at 0900 BST/1600 SGT on what lies ahead for Korea’s economy and financial markets. During this 20-minute session, the team will be answering your questions as they address key issues, including:
- How much fiscal stimulus is likely from the next administration;
- The scale of risk to the economy from Trump’s tariffs push;
- The long-term challenges, from demographics to productivity;
- How far the Bank of Korea could cut rates;
- The implications for Korean financial markets.
