- Summary
-
■ The Korean economy continues to see strong semiconductor momentum and a recovery in consumption, but production growth remains modest amid the downturn in construction. ○ Export values remain on a favorable trajectory, led by ICT products, but this has yet to translate into higher production volumes. - Despite weakness in other export categories, the sharp rise in semiconductor export values continues to support overall export growth. - Semiconductor prices have surged amid strong demand while supply remains constrained. - By contrast, manufacturing production excluding semiconductors continues to show only modest growth. ○ Services production shows solid momentum on the back of improving consumption, while weakness in construction investment appears increasingly prolonged. - Consumption continues a gradual recovery, supported by gains in real purchasing power. ○ Meanwhile, external uncertainty rose as international oil prices surged following the outbreak of the war in the Middle East. - Amid heightened uncertainty regarding the course of the war, sustained high oil prices could place upward pressure on consumer prices.
