(MENAFN) According to a state-run think tank Sunday, the economy of South Korea is preserving a decent growth rate while private spending is picking up, reaching a compensation for a hold up in corporate investment.
In its monthly assessment of economic conditions, the Korea Development Institute (KDI) declared "facility investment growth slowed down, and construction investment continued its pace of deceleration, while consumer sentiment ran high, with retail sales posting sharp growth."
KDI found that even though December's outbound shipment growth slowed down, exports are proving a modest expansion day by day.
