KDI Monthly Economic Trends 2025. 6
June. 10. 2025
Summary
The Korean economy remains subdued overall, weighed down by continued weakness in the construction sector and a slowdown in exports under the impact of U.S. tariff hikes.
     
  Construction investment continued to decline, while exports also showed weakening momentum.
     
  - Weakness in construction investment is constraining the recovery in domestic demand, while overall production growth is slowing, particularly in the construction sector.
     
  - Exports weakened further, particularly in sectors more directly affected by U.S. tariffs, as reflected in a decline in motor vehicle exports to the U.S.
     
  - Meanwhile, persistent strength in semiconductor demand has supported continued robust growth in production, exports, and investment in related equipment.
     
  Meanwhile, while household and business sentiment showed modest improvement amid easing domestic political instability and the U.S.-China trade agreement, external uncertainty remains elevated.
     
  - Trade-related uncertainty continues to run high, driven by further increases in steel and aluminum tariffs and lingering concerns over a potential resurgence of U.S.-China trade tensions.
