Pieter Stalenhoef Shares His Views About the Headwinds Facing South Korea

Pieter Stalenhoef came to know about the headwinds faced by South Korea through an article published in a popular business magazine. The column stated how the companies under Kospi index, a benchmark that spans across global industries including but not limited to cars, smartphones, cosmetics, semiconductors, and entertainment, have seen an average share price decline of more than one third ever since the index turned negative. If Pieter Stalenhoef is to be believed, one of the most significant issues that have been affecting the economic situation in Korea is that its export-driven economy is being pushed down because of the escalation of the US-China trade war, particularly hitting the exports of semiconductors. He also highlights how the overall exports to China have reduced by 16 percent.
