The country's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 2.6 percent in 2022, according to the Bank of Korea, compared to a 4.1 percent increase a year earlier.
 
The economy shrank 0.4 percent in the fourth quarter from the same period a year earlier.

 
A decline in private spending contributed to the quarterly fall.
