KDI Monthly Economic Trends 2025. 1
January. 08. 2025
Summary
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).
