SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's economy grew in the third quarter by a seasonally adjusted 0.3% from a quarter earlier, revised central bank data showed on Thursday, unchanged from the advance estimate released earlier.

It was slower than 0.7% in the second quarter and the slowest quarterly growth rate since the third quarter of 2021.

By expenditure, private consumption advanced 1.7% and facilities investment jumped 7.9%, but construction investment fell 0.2%. Exports rose 1.1%, while imports grew 6.0%.

The country's gross domestic product expanded 3.1% on a year-on-year basis, also unchanged from the earlier estimate.
