On January 17, Citi analysts said that South Koreas GDP growth may slow slightly in the fourth quarter of 2024, which may pave the way for the Bank of Korea to cut interest rates again next month. Citi expects GDP to grow by 0.1% month-on-month and 1.3% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, following a 0.1% month-on-month increase and a 1.5% year-on-year increase in the third quarter. Citi pointed out that the fourth-quarter GDP data to be released next week may show weak consumption, service and construction data, but strong export and manufacturing data.
