In South Korea, the government and business leaders worry that a stronger won, which recently rose to its highest level against the yen since August 2011, will hurt key export sectors, including automobiles, machinery, and electronics. One report by a Korean research institute shows that the Korean economy will slip into recession if the yen-dollar exchange rate nears 118, its average level back in 2007.
最近，韩元对日元汇率升至2011年8月以来的最高水平，韩国政府和商界领袖担心韩元的走强会伤害重要出口部门，包括汽车、机械和电子产品。韩国某研究所的一份报告显示，如果日元-美元汇率达到2007年的平均水平118附近，韩国经济将陷入衰退。
