South Korea's per capita gross national income surpassed the 30-thousand dollar mark for the first time in 2018.
The Bank of Korea says per capita GNI was 31-thousand 3-hundred-49 U.S. dollars last year, up 5-point-four percent on-year.
This comes 12 years after Korea's per capita GNI passed the 20-thousand dollar mark back in 2006.
Korea saw GDP growth of 2-point-seven percent in 2018... the same as the preliminary figure the BOK released in January this year.
