Over the past decades, South Korea has demonstrated incredible growth. While in the 1960s the GDP per capita was equivalent to some of the poorer countries in Africa and Asia, in 2004 South Korea joined the world's 20 largest economies. This growth is said to have been boosted by the government’s policies on promoting the import of raw materials and technology rather than consumer goods, as well as the encouragement of saving and investment. Its main industries include electronics, telecommunications, automobile production, chemicals, shipbuilding, and steel.
