SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea will need to shift its policy focus from supporting the economy to structural reforms to add social safety nets and developing new growth drivers when the pandemic abates, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission said on Thursday.
Concluding its annual assessment of South Korea's economy, the IMF said the trade-resilient economy will grow 3.0% this year and 2.9% next year.
The economy expanded 4.0% in 2021, as demand for exports soared.
