Quick Glance: South Korea Q1 GDP Growth Exceeds Estimates

The South Korean economy grew faster than expected in the first quarter, driven by an increase in domestic consumption and robust exports. However, the sustainability of the recovery was questioned.

GDP for the January-March quarter grew by 1.3%, marking the sharpest expansion since the fourth quarter of 2021 and surpassing all forecasts.

Growth in domestic demand was the main factor behind the stronger-than-expected GDP, with private consumption increasing by 0.8%. Analysts expressed uncertainty regarding the long-term strength of economic growth.

Despite a rebound in exports and an increase in government spending, uncertainty remains regarding inflation outlook and monetary policy, as the Bank of Korea reconsiders its economic growth projections for 2024.

Quick Glance: Addressing the EU's Relative Decline

The EU faces marginalization if it continues to shrink compared to other parts of the world.

There are two ways to look at the EU's relative decline: living standards and power.

The EU is dealing with different threats from aggressive Russia, China, and the United States.

To tackle the challenges, the EU needs to strengthen its single market, invest in key industries, and focus on future technologies.
