That makes approximatively 10% growth a year, which is strong but not too surprising when compared with typical USSR (under Stalin) or chinese growth figures. Also the reference year is a covid year, in which I expect production was slightly lower, which could make for slightly stronger growth figures (but still very impressive).
It's really great to see the DPRK growing this fast, especially when compared with the failing economy of the south.
BTW do you have official DPRK sources on what their GDP for 2023 or 2024 is ? All I can find are Bank of Korea (i.e. South Korea) estimates and I have absolutely no reason to trust these.
Why does that indicate that a coup is coming ? Isn't it better for a coup against such a popular figure to happen without western audiences hearing about it ? Granted, I haven't thought a lot about general color revolution strategy, but what's the playbook ?
