In South Korea Q1 2025 the lowest income quintile's average propensity to consume was 147.6%, versus 56.7% for the highest quintile.
What this does not establish
A ratio above 100% does not by itself identify debt, hardship or dissaving source; quintiles differ in age and household size.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Lowest-quintile average head age and composition differ materially.
What would change the reading
Later quarter, panel or balance-sheet linkage.
