South Korea's top economic policymaker said Thursday that 3.8 percent annual growth is attainable for 2015, despite various challenges.
"If risks are properly managed, the country can use the drop in international crude oil prices to its advantage in trade," Finance Minister Choi Kyung-hwan told lawmakers of the National Assembly's Strategy and Finance Committee. He added that free trade agreements (FTAs) reached with large trading partners will further affect investment that is linked to growth.
