Lee Jae-myung Government's First Year Economic Performance, All-Time Best

These results were presented as grounds for refuting the fear-mongering about declining approval ratings, primarily led by Kim Eo-jun. It is pointed out that public perception can be distorted by specific claims, despite genuinely positive economic performance.

It is argued that such critical public opinion temporarily affected approval ratings.

However, since there has been no significant change in the Democratic Party's approval ratings, it is suggested that this drop in approval ratings cannot be seen as a real shift in public sentiment.

Kim Eo-jun called for political engineering-based inclusivity, stating 'our side should join hands' to recover approval ratings, but the government is rejecting this approach. Its stance is that power-sharing deals with specific factions are a regression to old politics.

Instead, the government plans to adhere to a performance-oriented, straightforward approach to recover approval ratings by genuinely improving the lives of the people. It believes that gaining public trust through economic achievements is the long-term solution.

This signifies overwhelming performance across several key indicators.

In inflation stability and employment, it recorded 83 points, and in household debt, it recorded 50 points, indicating room for improvement.

Comparing the economic growth rates of past governments, the Kim Dae-jung administration was the highest at 1.7%, followed by the Roh Moo-hyun administration at 1.4%, the Lee Jae-myung administration at 0.9%, and the Yoon Suk-yeol administration at 0.2%. While the Lee Jae-myung government's growth rate is somewhat lower than previous administrations, the overall trend of low growth needs to be considered.

Notably, in terms of the current account surplus as a percentage of GDP, the Lee Jae-myung administration recorded 13.1%, significantly outperforming other governments. This is a very positive indicator from the perspective of external economic soundness.

These results suggest that the Lee Jae-myung government demonstrated robust economic management capabilities even amidst global economic uncertainties.
