August. 07. 2024
Summary
The Korean economy has sustained strong export growth, primarilyfueled by the semiconductor sector. However, domestic demandremains subdued, constraining overall economic improvement.
     
  Semiconductor-related production indicators maintained positivemomentum, with exports continuing to ascend, particularly in ICT items.
     
  - Increased semiconductor production and shipments, coupled withreduced inventory, are driving the recovery in the manufacturing sector.
     
  - Exports sustain their upward trajectory amid modest global economicexpansion and robust semiconductor market conditions.
     
  However, services production growth remained tepid, andconstruction investment continued its descent, indicating that therecovery phase of domestic demand has not yet materialized.
   
  - Services production exhibited tepid growth, primarily driven bywholesale and retail trade and accommodation and food services.
     
  - Amid persistent declines in retail sales and rising loan delinquencyrates, the accumulated slump in construction orders received led to acontraction in construction investment, suggesting employmentconditions are gradually adjusting.
     
  Meanwhile, external uncertainties have slightly increased on therecent escalation of geopolitical risks in the Middle East andconcerns over a U.S. recession.
