About this listen
South Korea's June presidential election ended six months of political uncertainty and policy paralysis in the country. Investors are optimistic that President Lee Jae-myung, with the support of the legislative assembly, can boost the economy with fiscal stimulus and corporate governance reform. The Kospi Index has surged more than 20% this year, surprising many global investors who have until now been hesitant to allocate capital in the country.
President Lee faces many challenges, however, including the threat of US tariffs, increasing competition from Chinese exports and a sluggish economy. And what does a return to democratic party policies mean for the chaebols, the scions of Korean industry? Peter Kim, investment strategist and managing director for KB Securities, discusses the outlook for Asia's fourth-largest economy with John Lee and Katia Dmitrieva on the Asia Centric podcast.
