Description The South Korean construction industry recorded a review-period (2008-2012) CAGR of 1.58%. The housing market deflated in 2008 as interest rates began to rise and banks tightened their lending conditions. This was a key reason for a decline in domestic demand, and contributed to the country's economic deceleration from an average of 5.2% during 2000-2007 to 2.3% in 2008, and just 0.3% in 2009. Infrastructure investments will support the construction industry, which is struggling due to poor property sales and tightening credit conditions. Investments related to the 2018 Winter Olympic Games are also expected to drive industry growth. Timetric expects the South Korean construction industry to record a forecast-period (2012-2017) CAGR of 3.07%.
