■ The Korean economy is experiencing mounting downward pressure, as the economic recovery is delayed by slowing production growth, accompanied by weakening economic sentiment amid growing uncertainties. ○ Semiconductor production maintained high growth, while related equipment investment and exports continued on a robust trajectory. ○ However, excluding semiconductors, production and exports in other sectors have slowed, and domestic demand remains subdued, particularly in the construction industry. - Construction production continues to decline sharply, while growth in services and non-semiconductor manufacturing is slowing. - Goods consumption and construction investment continues to exhibit prolonged weakness, weighing on economic recovery. ○ Amid growing external uncertainties, domestic political uncertainty is exacerbating economic sentiments. - Despite recent political turmoil, financial market indicators, such as exchange rates and stock prices, have remained relatively stable, although household and business sentiment indices have dropped significantly (see Box).
