S. Korean economy grows 0.6 pct on-quarter in Q3: BOK
SEOUL, Dec. 4 (Yonhap) -- The South Korean economy expanded 0.6 percent in the third quarter from three months earlier, central bank data showed Tuesday, amid rising concerns over an economic downturn.
The July-September growth rate marked the slowest since the fourth quarter of last year when the economy contracted 0.2 percent, according to the Bank of Korea.
Following a 0.6 percent rise in the second quarter, Asia's fourth-largest economy has been below the 1 percent expansion line for two quarters in a row.
On a year-on-year basis, South Korea grew 2 percent over the three-month period, marking the slowest on-year growth since the third quarter of 2009.
