Chart book for Korean economy: Domestic demand

stimulus announced

� Aug exports confirmed spread of the eurozone crisis

� 1H12 consolidated fiscal balance hit three-year low, indicating increased gov’t spending

� Domestic demand stimulus measures announced but effects to be limited

External transactions slowdown affected by eurozone crisis is spreading

In Aug, Korea’s exports shrank 6.2% YoY to USD42.9bn and the trade balance had

a mere USD200mn surplus, the least since Feb. The biggest exports decliner was

automotives, which saw a big drop of 21.7% YoY due to global economic

downturns and the disrupted production caused by strikes in Jul-Aug at domestic

automakers. Korea’s exports performance by region indicates that Europe’s crisis

is also taking a heavy toll on Asia and Central and South America. Korea’s exports

to Asia contracted 10.6% YoY and those to Central and South America plummeted

16.5% in Aug.

Government’s economic stimulus policy firmed

YTD Jun, Korea’s consolidated fiscal balance had a cumulative W11.5trn deficit. In

terms of 1H figures, 1H12 hit a three-year low since 1H09. Although income grew

5.7% YoY, spending increased 11.5% YoY, more than double the income growth. It

is because the government is executing fiscal spending earlier than planned as

Europe’s persistent debt crisis is putting a damper on the domestic and global

economies. In Jul alone, construction tenders from the public sector rose 26% YoY.

As such, the government is spending more to stimulate the economy.

Government’s added measures to boost domestic economy

Faced with steady export declines hit by the overseas slowdown and shaky

domestic economic conditions, the Korean government introduced a stimulus

package focusing on real estate tax cuts. The outline of the measures includes

lowering the monthly withholding for salary income, a 50% cut to the housing

purchase tax and a tax exemption for capital gains from the transfer of an unsold

pre-sale home. But the policy effects will likely be limited. While the withheld salary

amount will be lowered, the total tax obligation for a salaried worker will remain

unchanged due to changes in the year-end income tax adjustment rules. The

effects of real estate tax cuts should be also minimal given little hope that housing

prices will turn upward. However, considering its determination to boost the

economy, the government will very likely come up with additional stimulus plans.
