Zero growth in 2050
The country's economic growth could come to a halt in 2050 unless productivity is raised through structural reforms, a state-run think tank warned Tuesday. This gloomy forecast sends out a warning signal for the future of the nation, which is suffering from chronically low growth.

No time for political fracas
The ruling People Power Party (PPP) and the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) are engaged in a political battle over the deadly Halloween crowd crush that claimed 156 lives in Seoul's nightlife district of Itaewon on Oct. 29. It is regrettable that the rival parties are busy playing politics, instead of working together to cope with the aftermath of the tragedy ...

Successive railway accidents
Last Sunday night, a train derailed in southwestern Seoul, injuring about 30 passengers and delaying rail operations for nearly a day. A day before, one railway worker was killed and another injured after being struck by a cargo train in Uiwang, south of Seoul. The successive incidents have put the safety record of Korea Railroad Corp. (KORAIL) in question. Concerns are mount...

Looming debt crisis
Concerns are growing over the potential volatility in the financial markets, prompted by the seemingly “excessive” interest rate hikes. Central banks of the United States, the EU and the United Kingdom recently conducted what is called a “giant step,” raising the benchmark rate by 75 basis points.

Miners' safe return
Two miners, who had been trapped in a collapsed zinc mine for more than nine days, were rescued miraculously late Friday night. The men, aged 62 and 56, were stranded 190 meters underground after part of the zinc mine they were working in collapsed Oct. 26 in Bonghwa, North Gyeongsang Province. Both were able to walk out of the mine and were taken to a hospital.

Bungled police response
The Halloween tragedy in Seoul's Itaewon district reveals that the police's crisis management and command reporting system has been in disarray. It also shows that the nation's disaster prevention and response system has failed to work properly.

Grim employment outlook
The Korea Development Institute (KDI) said Thursday that new job openings next year will likely amount to one-tenth of those this year. The state-run think tank offered the grim outlook based on its analysis of jobs data at Statistics Korea. Korea's employment figures were excellent this year, at least statistically. In May, KDI expected new jobs to increase by 600,000 this y...

Rate hikes stoke concerns
The nation's financial authorities are desperately coping with a potential increase in financial market volatility following the U.S. Federal Reserve's 75 basis point rate hike Wednesday. The Fed's recent move raised the benchmark interest rate to a 15-year high - from 3.75 percent to 4 percent. The four consecutive giant rate hikes have largely been expected, pushing the U.S...

Stop escalating tensions
North Korea test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) toward the East Sea on Thursday, further raising tensions on the Korean Peninsula. It also launched two short-range ballistic missiles. The test-firing posed a great threat to South Korea and its neighboring countries in East Asia although the ICBM seems to have failed in flight. It was also a grave threat to...

Shocking export drop
Amid the continuing trade deficit, even exports have declined. According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Korea's foreign shipments in October fell 5.7 percent year-on-year to $52.48 billion. It was the first time in two years that monthly exports have decreased. In contrast, imports jumped 9.9 percent, resulting in a trade deficit for seven consecutive months f...
