South Korea's inflation trends reflect its economic transformation and resilience against global economic fluctuations. Inflation was high in the early 1990s, peaking at 9.3% in 1991 due to rapid industrialization and export growth. The Asian financial crisis in 1998 led to an inflation spike of 7.5%, but recovery measures and monetary policy reduced inflation to 0.8% by 1999.
In 2022, inflation reached 5.1%, driven by global energy price increases and supply chain disruptions. Projections indicate a stabilization at 2.0% from 2025 onwards, reflecting effective economic policies and South Korea’s robust position in the global market.
