The two biggest stories of 2019 in South Korea were a series of meetings between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to discuss the denuclearization of North Korea in the first half of the year, and the trade war with Japan in the second half. President Moon Jae-in’s income-led growth policies still have not stimulated the economy. In fact, South Korea’s macroeconomic performance was virtually at a standstill; the economic growth rate in 2019 has stayed below 2.0%, showing no sign of turnaround.

2019年韩国

2019年韩国最大的两个故事是美国总统唐纳德特朗普和朝鲜领导人金正恩在今年上半年讨论朝鲜无核化的一系列会议，以及与日本的贸易战。下半场。文在寅总统以收入为导向的增长政策仍未刺激经济。事实上，韩国的宏观经济表现几乎处于停滞状态；2019年经济增速一直保持在2.0%以下，未见好转迹象。
