Business | However, the 1997 Asian financial crisis manifested itself in drastic trade imbalances in 1998. Until 1997, Korea was the fifth largest export market, dropping to ninth largest in 1998. In 1998, the U.S. Trade deficit with Korea was $7.4 billion, a dramatic turn-around of $9.3 billion from the $1.9 billion trade surplus the United States had with Korea in 1997. Sharp declines in corporate investment, domestic consumption, and imports in 1998 can be attributed to the fall in the won's value, the financial crisis, and the recession. (references) | |
