Grammar points
N보다more than N, compared with N
보다 attaches to the thing being compared against, with no space. Korean names the standard first and the difference after, the reverse of English: 올해 본예산보다 8.2% 늘어난 is literally 'compared with this year's main budget, increased by 8.2 percent'. Budget reporting stacks these to set one year against another.
Example: 올해 본예산보다 8.2% 늘어난 148조 7697억 원입니다.
It comes to 148.7697 trillion won, 8.2 percent more than this year's main budget.
N에서 N(으)로from N to N (a change)
에서 marks the value before and (으)로 the value after — (으)로 after a consonant, 로 after a vowel or ㄹ. This 에서 is not the one meaning 'at a place'; it is the earlier state. Where two households are compared at once, Korean can leave the verb until the end and let both pairs run in parallel, as in this sentence.
Example: 1인 가구가 82만 1000원에서 87만 6000원으로 오릅니다.
For a one-person household it rises from 821,000 won to 876,000 won.
