OECD 한국경제보고서 2012

한국은 대부분의 OECD 국가들에 비해 보다 빠르고 역동적으로 2008년 세계 경제 위기로부터 회복했으며, 실업률과 국가 채무도 낮은 수준이다. 세계 경제 둔화를 반영하여, 2011년 후반부터 성장이 둔화되었지만, 2012년에도 약 3.5% 성장할 것으로 예상된다. 한국은 지난 10년간 실질 GDP가 연간 4%를 초과하여 성장하는 등, OECD 국가 중에서 가장 빠르게 성장하는 국가 중 하나였다. 빠른 성장으로 미국과 한국의 1인당 소득 격차는 1991년 62%에서 2010년에는 36%로 줄어들었다.
