Worldwide Economic Slowdown and Pitfalls of Beggar Thy Neighbor Policy

The Asian countries have pursued a weak currency to artificially boost exports.

As expected, most of Asian economies don’t seem to decouple from a worldwide economic slowdown.

Does Korea have domestic demand to fall back on?

How would Korea deal with any consequences stemming from its currency adjustment in the coming years?
