- Summary
-
■ The Korean economy remains at a similarly subdued level as in the previous month, due to continued weakness in the construction sector and worsening external conditions. ○ Construction remains depressed, while manufacturing is experiencing a downturn, dampening production growth. - Semiconductor exports and production continued to underpin favorable trend, while investment in related equipment sustained high growth. - However, exports to the U.S. weakened, particularly in categories such as motor vehicles affected by steep tariff hikes, resulting in slower growth in manufacturing production. - All industry production turned to a decrease as construction output contracted and services posted only modest growth. ○ While consumer sentiment is on the mend, pointing to a possible improvement in domestic demand conditions, trade-related uncertainty remains elevated with the expiry of the mutual tariff suspension approaching.
