The South’s central bank said that despite global sanctions over its
weapons programmes, North Korea’s economy grew at the fastest pace in 17 years
thanks to a jump in exports and increased production in mining and other
industries, on Friday. The bank of Korea (BOK)
said the North’s gross domestic product grew 3.9 percent last year-the fastest
since 1999 when it expanded 6.1 percent. The hermit state does not officially
release its annual estimates based on data, and BOK releases its annual
estimates based on data compiled from state and private organizations. The
impoverished North has faced several rounds of UN sanction over its push to
develop nuclear weapons.
