S. Korea's GDP expands 0.6 pct in Q2, with 3 pct annual growth on track: BOK

South Korea's economy showed a modest 0.6 percent growth in the second quarter, driven by strong export performance, according to the Bank of Korea. This growth sets the stage for the country to potentially achieve its annual growth target of 3 percent. The solid export numbers are crucial as they indicate the resilience of global demand for Korean goods, which could have significant implications for the country's manufacturing sector and overall economic health.
