- Summary
-
■ The Korean economy is showing some improvement in economic activity driven by high export growth, but domestic demand has yet to recover. ○ Exports continue to show a favorable recovery trend, led by semiconductors. - As the global economy sustains modest growth, external conditions are somewhat improving. - Accordingly, semiconductor exports continue a robust recovery, and exports of other items are also showing a mild upward trend. ○ However, as the high interest rate environment persists, the recovery in domestic demand remains elusive. - The high interest rate environment, including continued hikes in delinquency rates on household and individual business loans, serves as a major factor weighing on domestic demand. - The decline in retail sales and equipment investment continues, while construction investment shows only a slight increase. - Consequently, inflation is slowing, and employment growth in the service industry is also narrowing. ○ As domestic demand remains sluggish while exports recover, the trade surplus trend is being maintained. - Imports turned to a decrease as consumer goods imports contracted due to weak consumption.
