The South Korean economy slowed significantly during the second half of 2022, with GDP contracting by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter (q/q) in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Weakness in the EWY over recent years has seen the PE ratio on the index fall below 10x, which is significantly below its developed market peers.
