February. 10. 2025
Summary
The Korean economy maintains modest production growth, while downside risks heighten amid worsening external conditions.
     
  While the manufacturing industry shows improvements, particularly in semiconductors and automobiles, overall production growth remains modest due to weaknesses in the construction industry.
 
  Domestic demand recovery remains sluggish due to weak consumption and construction investment, while export growth is gradually slowing from its previous strength, particularly in non-semiconductor sectors.
     
  - Retail sales and the value of construction completed continue to decline, while household and business sentiment indicators remain at low levels.
   
  - Despite strong growth in semiconductors, exports are showing signs of slowdown mainly in other sectors.
     
  As political uncertainty persists, rising external uncertainties are heightening downside risks to the economy.
     
  - Concerns are growing over contracting trade conditions as tensions, led by the U.S., intensify.
