South Korea’s Economy Accelerates — GDP Growth Surpasses Expectations South Korea’s economy gathered pace in the third quarter, reducing pressure on policymakers to introduce further monetary stimulus as they balance curbing a heated housing market with assessing potential impacts from upcoming US trade policies. According to data released by the Bank of Korea on Tuesday, the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 1.2% in the three months through September compared to the previous quarter. The figure exceeded market expectations, which had projected around 1% growth. On a yearly basis, the economy grew 1.7%. The stronger-than-expected growth highlights resilient domestic demand and steady export recovery, despite global economic uncertainties. Economists suggest that this momentum could prompt the Bank of Korea to maintain its current monetary stance instead of adding further stimulus.

Three Scientists Win 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for Metal–Organic Frameworks The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded jointly to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for their pioneering research in developing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) — a revolutionary class of materials that can trap gases, capture water, and catalyze chemical reactions. The announcement was made on Wednesday by Hans Ellegren, Secretary General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in Stockholm. The Academy said the three laureates’ groundbreaking discovery in 1989 created “molecular structures with large internal spaces that allow gases and other chemicals to flow through,” enabling wide-ranging applications in energy, environment, and chemistry.
