Description:
South Korea got a good economic development in 2012 in the background that the world economy remains weak because of the European debt crisis, especially in foreign trade.It became the the World‘s 8th trading nation after gaining a trillion dollars again.However, the economic development will also face problems of low interest rate, low growth and the aging of population in 2013.The development of South Korea in 2013 or future will be influenced by whether the FTA negotiation can show substantial progress and what domestic and foreign polices can be made out by Park Geun-hye.
