Korea

The economy slowed in 2012 as weak export growth reduced business investment. A pick-up in world trade is projected to spark a gradual recovery, with output growth reaching 4% in 2014, despite continued headwinds from the high level of household debt. The expansion is expected to narrow Korea's large current account surplus and lift inflation into the central bank's target zone.
