South Korea's Lee urged the cabinet to raise the country's potential growth rate
to 3%, citing strong 1H export performance—especially semiconductors—and rising
capex; he said several forecasts show real GDP could reach 3% this year. Lee
called for coordinated action to stabilize prices and the housing market and to
cultivate game‑changing, high‑advantage growth engines, aiming to make this year
a turning point toward 3% potential growth, top‑four trading nation status and
$50,000 per-capita income.
