- Summary
-
■ The Korean economy, despite weak construction investment, is showing some easing of overall sluggishness, led by consumption. ○ Construction investment remains sluggish, while equipment investment growth is moderating, with manufacturing capacity utilization still at low levels. ○ However, the weakness in consumption is slightly easing as market interest rates continue to decline and government consumption support policies are implemented. ○ Downward pressures on exports remain elevated, reflecting persistently high U.S. tariffs and heightened global trade uncertainty. - Exports continue gradual growth led by semiconductors, but with tariff hike effects starting to emerge, including declining shipments to the U.S., earlier front-loading may unwind, potentially slowing export growth. - Uncertainty also lingers over the possibility of tariffs on semiconductors
