Abstract

Prolonged domestic political and global trade policy uncertainties have weighed on economic activity since late 2024. While growth has slowed, inflation remains close to the target, and financial stability risks remain manageable. With sufficient policy space, the authorities have adopted a more accommodative macroeconomic policy stance in 2025. Key medium-term challenges include boosting the growth potential amid rapid population aging, strengthening demand amid global uncertainty, and building long-term resilience. The new administration’s Economic Growth Strategy aims to achieve technology-driven, fair, and sustainable growth, with a goal to raise potential growth to 3 percent.
