Korea's Economic Restoration to Lag In back of G20
The OECD forecasts global economical restoration from the coronavirus pandemic is "coming," but Korea's will lag substantially behind other members of the G20.

"Global economic leads have improved markedly lately, helped by the gradual deployment of effective vaccines, announcements of additional fiscal support in a few countries, and signals that economies will be coping better with methods to suppress the virus," it said.

Nonetheless it added that only the U.S. can return to a normal footing by the finish of this year.

Korea had the 6th smallest forecast downgrade, but China and Japan were much ahead. Experts voiced concerns that the Korean market may have lost its trademark resilience that helped it bounce back again from previous crises.

Korea's development projection is 1.9 percentage points lower now than it had been before the pandemic. On the other hand, the U.S. market is expected to expand 0.2 percentage point more than the previous forecast, thanks largely to the Biden administration's "super stimulus."

Japan's development forecast is now 1.3 percentage points less than before the pandemic, Turkey's 0.8 factors more affordable, and China's and Russia's 1 and 1.7 points lower.
