ECONOMYSouth Korea over the

past four decades has demonstrated incredible growth and global integration to become a high-tech industrialized economy. GDP per capita was comparable with the levels in the poorer countries of Africa and Asia

GDP (Purchasing power parity)

$1.666 trillion (13th)GDP (real growth rate) : 2.80%GDP (per capita-PPP) : $33,200 (42nd)

The economy has weathered global economic and financial downturns better than its regional peers due to minimal exposure to troubled international securities, low dependence on exports, relatively resilient domestic consumption, large remittances from overseas Filipino workers, and rapidly expanding business process outsourcing industry.

GDP (Purchasing power parity) : $454.30 billion (32th)GDP (real growth rate) : 6.80%GDP (per capita-PPP) : $4,700 (165th)

The country is richly endowed with natural resources, but exploitation has been hampered by rugged terrain, land tenure issues, and high cost of developing infrastructures. Mineral deposits, including copper, gold, and oil account to nearly 2/3 of export earnings.

Economic Importance of Transport Infrastructures

The transport sector is an important component of the economy and a common tool used for development. This is even more so in a global economy where economic opportunities are increasingly related to the mobility of people, goods and information.

Economic Importance of Transport Infrastructures

When transport systems are efficient, they provide economic and social opportunities and benefits that result in positive multipliers effects such as better accessibility to markets, employment and additional investments. When transport systems are deficient in terms of capacity or reliability, they can have an economic cost such as reduced or missed opportunities and lower quality of life.

Economic Importance of Transport Infrastructures

Assessing the economic importance of transportation requires a categorization of the types of impacts it conveys. These involve:Core. This involves the setting of routes enabling new or existing interactions between economic entities.Operational. Improvement in the time performance, notably in terms of reliability, as well as reduced loss or damage. Geographical. Access to a wider market base where economies of scale in production, distribution and consumption can be improved. Another important geographical impacts concerns the influence of transport on the location of activities.

Economic Importance of Transport Infrastructures

At the macroeconomic level (the importance of transportation for a whole economy), transportation and the mobility it confers are linked to a level of output, employment and income within a national economy. In many developed countries, transportation accounts between 6% and 12% of the GDP.At the microeconomic level (the importance of transportation for specific parts of the economy) transportation is linked to producer, consumer and production costs. The importance of specific transport activities and infrastructure can thus be assessed for eachsector of the economy. Transportation accounts on average between 10% and 15% of household expenditures while it accounts around 4% of the costs of each unit of output in manufacturing, but this figure varies greatly according to sub sectors.

Economic Importance of Transport Infrastructures

From a general standpoint the economic impacts of transportation can be direct, indirect and induced

Economic Importance of Transport Infrastructures

Direct impacts. The outcome of improved capacity and efficiency where transport provides employment, added value, larger markets as well as time and costs improvements.

Economic Importance of Transport Infrastructures

Indirect impacts. The outcome of improved accessibility and economies of scale. Indirect value-added and jobs are the result of local purchases by companies directly dependent upon transport activity. Transport activities are responsible for a wide range of indirect value-added and employment effects, through the linkages of transport with other economic sectors (e.g. office supply firms, equipment and parts suppliers, maintenance and repair services, insurance companies, consulting and other business services).

Economic Importance of Transport Infrastructures

Induced impacts. The outcome of the economic multiplier effects where the price of commodities, goods or services drop and/or their variety increases. For instance, the steel industry requires cost efficient import of iron ore and coal for the blast furnaces and export activities for finished products such as steel booms and coils. Manufacturers and retail outlets and distribution centers handling imported containerized cargo rely on efficient transport and seaport operations.

Economic Importance of Transport Infrastructures

The major impacts of transport on economic factors can be categorized as follows:Geographic specialization Large scale productionIncreased competition. Increased land value.
