■ The Korean economy is showing signs of a moderated economic deceleration, led by the semiconductor industry, although external uncertainties persist. ○ Services production is maintaining a steady increase, and the slowdown in manufacturing production and exports is beginning to ease, driven by the semiconductor industry. - Bolstered by the expansion of travel demand, related service industries are seeing sustained growth in production. The construction sector is maintaining robust growth, and employment figures in related industries have rebounded. - Exports have displayed moderate sluggishness across most items, including semiconductors. - High-interest rates have kept goods consumption and equipment investment subdued. ○ However, rising interest rates in the US and escalating tensions in the Middle East are contributing to lingering external uncertainties. - The rise in US market interest rates is likely to influence domestic market rates, potentially hampering domestic demand. - Furthermore, intensifying geopolitical tensions are driving up the volatility of global oil prices.
