9.0
On Jan. 9, South Korea's government unveiled an ambitious "great economic leap" policy package projecting 2.0 percent real GDP growth in 2026 and saying 2026 will mark a rebound in potential growth. The plan prioritizes semiconductors (aiming for world No.2), top-three artificial-intelligence standing, a top-four defense industry, and expansionary fiscal measures including a 727.9 trillion-won 2026 budget and an 8.1% spending increase.
