November. 07. 2025
Summary
Despite weak construction investment and slower export growth, the Korean economy shows signs of a modest improvement, led by consumption.
     
  The semiconductor sector remained buoyant, but export growth gradually slowed due to negative spillover from U.S. tariff hikes. Construction investment also continued to lose momentum.
     
  - With exports to the U.S. declining steadily and weakness persisting in non-semiconductor items, average daily exports showed a modest slowdown.
     
  However, consumption has been recovering gradually, supported by lower market interest rates and policy measures to stimulate spending.
     
  - As a result, services production continued to improve, particularly in sectors tied to domestic demand, such as wholesale and retail trade.
     
  Meanwhile, although trade conditions have improved somewhat,with progress in KoreaU.S. trade negotiations and easing U.S. China trade tensions, uncertainty persists.
