In the third quarter, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) posted its fastest economic growth rate this year, on the back of continued credit expansion and stimulus spending. The country’s third quarter gross domestic product (GDP) increased 8.9% year-on-year (y-o-y)—well above the GDP growth rates of 6.11% and 7.9% registered in the first and second quarters of the year, respectively. Industrial production in September rose 13.9% y-o-y, the most in over a year, while September retail sales increased 15.5% y-o-y. GDP growth in the Republic of Korea (Korea) is also rebounding. Korean GDP in 3Q09 rose 2.9% quarter-on-quarter (0.6% y-o-y), leading to market speculation that the Bank of Korea may be considering an increase in its policy rate.
