- Summary
-
■ The Korean economy continues to exhibit a modest improvement led by consumption, while weakness in the construction industry persists. ○ Although weakness in the construction industry has been prolonged, consumption continues to improve as the effects of base rate cuts feed through with a lag and government support measures remain in place. ○ As a result, services production remains solid, supporting a modest increase in all-industry production. - Employment in sectors closely linked to consumption also shows a gradual easing of weakness. ○ Meanwhile, export growth expanded due to favorable semiconductor conditions, although trade-related uncertainty persists. - Trade in non-semiconductor items weakened somewhat amid high U.S. tariff rates. - Semiconductor exports remain robust, but part of their strength reflects the surge in prices; in volume terms, the previously strong gains are gradually moderating.
