Park Geun-hye of the ruling Saenuri Party will retain her position as president until her term ends in 2017. The political scene will increasingly become dominated by the search for a presidential candidate.
The president will attempt to accelerate her economic reform plans in the early part of the forecast period, although parliamentary gridlock and an obstructionist opposition will hinder progress.
