Korea has emerged as a compelling destination for global investors seeking growth opportunities among advanced economies. With its high-tech, export-led companies, booming entertainment industry, steady consumer demand, and increasingly dynamic capital markets, Korea is well-positioned to provide new avenues to global business and financial institutions as the region continues to undergo transformations. But it is not without headwinds, including political disruptions, waning global demand, higher prices, and security concerns. Will Korea be able to align its advanced technology sectors with the next wave of innovations? How can global investors seize the opportunities in Korea’s evolving economy amid global headwinds?
