2008: South Korean banking officials estimate that the North Korean economy shrank for the second year in a row (-2.3 percent last year, and -1.1 percent in 2006). North Korean GDP is estimated as $26.7 billion in 2007, creating a per capita income of $1,152. South Korea has a 2007 GDP of $971 billion (5 percent growth over 2006) and a per capita income at $20,045. The enormous economic gap between the two Koreas is the result of over half a century of communist economic mismanagement in the north.
