Asia's fourth-largest economy expands at fastest pace in 11 years
아시아에서 네 번째로 큰 경제 주체, 11년만에 가장 빠른 속도로 발전


By Yi Whan-woo

The Korean economy is expected to continue its recovery in the first quarter of 2022 despite the spread of the Omicron variant, as it is becoming more resilient to the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to multiple analysts, Tuesday.
오미크론 변이 확산에도 불구하고 한국 경제는 2022년 1분기에 계속 회복될 것으로 보이는데 다수의 분석가에 의하면 코로나19 팬데믹의 후유증에 더욱 회복력을 갖추었기 때문이다.


Omicron will remain a stumbling block, but even so, it should not put a major drag on the momentum of recovery, the experts said.
전문가들은 오미크론은 장애물로 남아있을 것이지만, 그렇다고 해도 회복의 가속도에 주요한 저항을 주지는 않을 것이라고 말했다.


They noted that its economic impact is limited and that the government, with the presidential election coming on March 9, will remain supportive of pandemic-stricken households and businesses in terms of fiscal policy.
전문가들은 오미크론의 경제에 대한 영향력은 제한적이며 3월 9일에 대통령 선거가 다가로는 이 시점에서 정부는 팬데믹으로 고통받는 가정과 사업장을 재정 정책 측면에서 지지하는 태도를 유지할 것이라고 언급했다.


The optimistic outlook for the January-March period came after the Bank of Korea (BOK) reported Tuesday that Korea's economy had expanded 4.0 percent in 2021 ― the country's fastest growth in 11 years, since expanding 6.8 percent in 2010.
1분기에 대한 이러한 긍정적인 전망은 한국은행이 화요일 한국 경제가 2010년 6.8% 성장한 이후 11년 만에 가장 빠른 성장세를 보이며 2021년 4.0% 성장했다고 발표한 이후에 나왔다.


The nation's GDP grew 1.1 percent in the October-December period, a major turnaround from the third quarter's meager 0.3 percent expansion.
한국의 GDP는 지난 해 4분기에 1.1% 성장하며 부족했던 3분기의 0.3% 성장률에서 중대한 호전이 있었다.


The fourth-quarter GDP boosted Asia's fourth-largest economy accordingly to reach the annual growth target of 4 percent.
이러한 4분기 GDP는 아시아에서 네 번째로 큰 경제가 이에 부응해 목표했던 연간 4% 성장률에 미치도록 힘을 보탰다.
