South Korea's economy remained sluggish in the fourth quarter of last year as the martial law saga under President Yoon Seok-yoon further dented consumer confidence, already weakened by slowing export growth.
Gross domestic product (GDP) grew 0.1% in the fourth quarter from the previous quarter, the Bank of Korea said Thursday, falling short of economists' estimate of 0.2%, Bloomberg reported. On a year-on-year basis, the economy grew by 1.2 per cent, also below forecasts of 1.4 per cent.
