Signal Non-capital regions' share of Korea's GRDP fell from 51.3% in 2013 to 47.7% in 2023

Summary

The plan reports that the share of gross regional domestic product generated outside the capital region fell from 51.3 percent in 2013 to 47.7 percent in 2023. That is a decline of 3.6 percentage points over ten years. The figure shows the capital region now producing more than half of national output. The plan uses this trend as the baseline for its goal of restoring the non-capital share to 50 percent. It ties the decline to the triple burden of capital-region concentration, regional industrial crisis and demographic change.
