Scotiabank expects South Korean real GDP to grow 3.6% in 2021 and 2.7% in 2022, supported by electronics exports and expansionary fiscal policy. Inflation is expected to stay elevated in coming months largely because of base effects before settling near the central bank's 2% target.
The economy contracted only 1% in 2020 and output has passed its pre-pandemic level.
Stronger domestic demand supports Korean animal protein and feed consumption over the forecast period. The impact on feed commodity prices is modest and gradual.
