South Korea country watch
Exposure to South Korea means watching the Bank of Korea and the won, export controls and trade talks that touch semiconductors, batteries, shipbuilding and autos, the chaebol's investment and restructuring decisions, and labour action at Busan and the car plants. We read Maeil Business, Korea Economic Daily, Chosun, JoongAng and Yonhap every morning.
