South Korean market prospect:
The Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment of the president, Park Geun-hye, on March 10th. Early presidential elections will be held on May 9th. We expect a liberal candidate from the main opposition Minjoo Party of Korea to win the presidency. Eradicating corruption is likely to be the key focus of the election campaign. The economy will grow at an average rate of 2.3% a year in 2017-21, and it will remain dependent on the external sector. (Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit 2017)
