- Summary
-
■ The Korean economy continues to record low production growth, weighed down by sluggishness in the construction sector, although consumption conditions have shown partial improvement. ○ Construction investment continued to decline significantly, and growth in equipment investment is also experiencing adjustment. ○ Nevertheless, consumption conditions are improving, supported bya continued decline in market interest rates and consumption stimulus measures. ○ While trade uncertainty has eased following the conclusion of trade negotiations between the U.S. and major economies, high tariffs continue to weigh on exports. - While export growth has remained modest, the risk of a slowdown is considered elevated, as the front-loaded effect―mainly in semiconductors―diminishes and the impact of tariff hikes begins to materialize (see Box, p.8).
