- Summary
-
■ The Korean economy is showing signs of a slowdown, as external conditions have sharply deteriorated. ○ A weakened construction sector is weighing on the recovery of domestic demand, while deteriorating trade conditions are slowing exports. - Manufacturing production remains on a favorable trajectory, led by semiconductors, accompanied by a significant increase in related investment. - However, the protracted downturn in construction is keeping overall production and domestic demand growth at low levels. - Average daily exports declined, led by exports to the U.S., amid worsening trade conditions stemming from recent U.S. tariff hikes. ○ The global economic slowdown, driven by worsening trade conditions, is expected to exert mounting downward pressure on economic activity, particularly in exports. - Global growth forecasts, especially for the U.S. and China, have been significantly downgraded, while elevated volatility in global financial markets is dampening economic sentiment both domestically and globally.
