Global Banks Raise South Korea Growth Forecast to 3.5% on Semiconductor Boom
Global investment banks have raised their forecasts for South Korea's economic growth to an average of 3.5% for 2024, up from 3.3% a month earlier, driven by a surge in semiconductor exports. JPMorgan, UBS, Bank of America, and Citi all increased their projections. Six of eight banks also upgraded their 2027 outlook to 2.8%, nearing the Bank of Korea's 2.9% forecast. Strong quarterly GDP growth and record exports support these revisions, reflecting improved economic prospects.
