South Korea sees 2009 export growth at 8-yr low
Reuters - Friday, January 2
SEOUL, Jan 2 - South Korea said on Friday its exports in 2009 would probably grow only 1 percent, marking the slowest pace in eight years, as a deepening global recession cools demand for the country's export products.
It follows a provisional 13.7 percent rise in 2008 and would be the lowest growth since exports fell 12.7 percent in 2001.
Imports in 2009 are seen declining 4.7 percent on falling commodities prices and weak domestic demand, after a 22.0 percent rise in 2008, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy said.
That would produce a trade surplus of $11.9 billion in 2009, compared with a $13.0 billion deficit in 2008, the ministry said. (Reporting by Cheon Jong-woo and Yoo Choonsik; Editing by Jonathan Hopfner)
