KDI Monthly Economic Trends 2025. 7
July. 08. 2025
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.
