[SEOUL] South Korea's parliament approved early on Thursday the government's plans to boost total spending by 2.9 per cent next year to 386.4 trillion won (S$469 billion), aimed at shoring up economic momentum amid a stuttering recovery.
Spending was scaled down slightly from the government's initial proposal of 386.7 trillion won from the budget and government-owned funds, and compared with 375.4 trillion won originally approved for this year.
