China now a rival rather than boon for South Korean exporters, warns minister : Seoul says tech and manufacturing sectors must adapt to rising competition
ft.com/content/49a7a751-febe-4db1-9d24-a5b99eb694dc
Quick Glance: South Korean Exporters Warn of China as Rival
- South Korea's economy needs to urgently adapt to the increasing competition from China, as the country's biggest exporters battle for market share in sectors like chips, shipbuilding, and display panels, warns the finance minister.
- The growth of South Korea's economy slowed from 2.6 percent in 2022 to 1.4 percent last year, hindered by high interest rates, China's economic slowdown, and a decline in global demand for memory chips, the country's top export.
- The country's lowest fertility rate in the world and high household debt levels as a proportion of GDP are also causing concerns for officials.
- The government recently indicated it would reverse a cut in the R&D budget for 2024 to reform the country's research and development efforts and enhance economic competitiveness.

Quick Glance: Popular Affordable Bakeries in Seoul
- Freshly baked goods like bread, cake, and pastries are increasingly available at an affordable price of 1,000 won ($0.73) at vendor stalls and stores in subway stations in Seoul as living costs rise.
- The 1,000-won bakeries are compared to dollar stores in the US and 100-yen stores in Japan, catering to budget-conscious consumers looking to save money.
- The emergence of 1,000-won bakeries reflects the current frugal mindset of many households facing tight budgets due to ongoing inflation.
- Despite price hikes in baking ingredients such as flour, butter, margarine, eggs, salt, and sugar, the question arises on how such a wide selection can be offered at a low price.

reuters.com/markets/asia/ex-bok-deputy-governor-sees-no-rate-cuts-this-year-2024-04-08/
Quick Glance: Ex-BOK deputy governor predicts no rate cuts this year
- A former Bank of Korea deputy governor stated that the central bank is unlikely to cut interest rates this year due to ongoing inflation concerns, challenging expectations of two rate cuts in the latter half of the year.
- Lee Seung-heon's remarks challenge analysts' predictions for rate cuts, emphasizing that it is premature to consider easing as headline inflation remains persistent at 3.1% in March, in line with February's rate and above the BOK's 2% target.
- The BOK is expected to delay any signals for rate cuts until at least June to assess the impact of rising global oil prices on inflation pressures and to evaluate domestic consumption trends before considering any monetary policy adjustments.
- Policymakers are cautious amid uncertainties, with one dissenting board member suggesting a possible rate cut in the near future, although the majority view supports maintaining current rates as economic data continues to shape the decision-making process.
