- Summary
-
■ The Korean economy remained on a gradual recovery path, but downside risks increased following the war in the Middle East. ○ Domestic demand improved modestly, while exports posted strong growth, led by semiconductors. - In February, consumption sustained its recovery momentum. Equipment investment posted strong growth, led by semiconductors, while the decline in construction investment moderated. - On the production side, services maintained robust growth. Manufacturing output also accelerated, supported by a surge in semiconductor production. ○ However, downside risks intensified further in March, driven by the surge in global oil prices and deepening supply chain disruptions following the war in the Middle East. - With petroleum prices rising sharply, inflationary pressures are likely to build, particularly in sectors closely linked to crude oil. - Export conditions softened somewhat on weaker global demand, while heightened uncertainty may constrain the recovery in investment. - Reflecting these developments, both the Composite Business Sentiment Index and the Composite Consumer Sentiment Index declined.
