With the approval of the impeachment of the president, the Korean economy has relieved the big bad news of "uncertainty."
However, since the situation of 'impeachment judgment' is still unstable, the outlook will vary depending on how stable the president responds to the Yugoslav situation.

The week when martial law was declared, the Korean stock market appeared to be in a serious crisis.
For the fourth consecutive trading day, the KOSPI lost 5.6 percent and the KOSDAQ lost as much as 9.1 percent.
However, it has since returned to a successive upward trend and recovered to its pre-martial law level.
Analysts say that the authorities' position that our economic system is still strong, along with expectations that the unstable situation will end soon, worked on the outside world.

However, the unbridled exchange rate has reached over 1,440 won, clearly showing foreign capital's anxiety about the current situation.
In this situation, it is evaluated that the impeachment has eliminated uncertainty, which is a major obstacle.
[Interview] Cho Young-moo, a researcher at LG Management Research Institute, said, "(The impeachment) is expected to ease the adverse effects of shrinking private consumption, and it is expected to have a somewhat positive impact on companies' investment, which could be an important variable in our economic recovery in the future."
However, as it is not a complete political normalization, the bad news of anxiety still remains.
In particular, the world's attention is focused on how stable Prime Minister Han Deok-soo is to deal with the crisis at a time when his position is unstable.
Above all, it is evaluated that a response that can give trust is important as a series of waves are expected not only in finance but also in exports and domestic demand depending on the response of international credit rating agencies.

Experts also stress that, as the political schedule is set in the future, the government should hurry to come up with economic measures against the second Trump administration, which has been virtually defenseless so far.
