Abstract

Korean Abstract: □ 최근 우리 경제는 내수 증가세가 점차 둔화되고 있으나, 수출이 견실한 모습을 유지하면서 대체로 완만한 성장세를 유지하고 있음.

○ 소매판매 증가율이 높은 수준을 유지하였으나, 소비 관련 서비스업생산의 개선은 지연되고 있음.

○ 설비투자의 증가세가 비교적 빠르게 둔화되는 가운데, 건설투자도 낮은 증가율에 머무는 등 투자의 증가 속도는 낮아지고 있음.

○ 수출은 반도체를 중심으로 전월에 비해 높은 증가율을 기록하는 등 내수 증가세 둔화를 일부 완충하는 모습

- 한편, 최근 광공업 생산도 증가로 전환하며 부진이 다소 완화되는 모습이나, 전반적인 개선 추세는 제한적인 것으로 판단됨.

○ 노동시장에서는 이와 같은 생산 측면의 경기상황을 반영하여 제조업과 건설업 고용이 둔화되는 등 취업자 수 증가폭이 전월에 이어 낮은 수준을 지속

English Abstract: □ The Korean economy sustained modest growth driven by robust exports although growth in domestic demand is slowing gradually.

○ Growth in retail sales remained strong but improvement in consumption-related services production has been delayed.

○ Facilities investment growth is slowing at a relatively fast pace and construction investment growth remained low, suggesting that investment growth is on the decline.

○ Exports growth rose higher than last month, particularly in semiconductors, helping to buffer some of the slow growth in domestic demand.

- Meanwhile, mining and manufacturing production turned to an increase recently, pointing to a moderating slowdown, but the overall pace of improvements appears limited.

○ Employment growth remained low from last month with manufacturing and construction posting declines, reflecting delayed improvements in production-related activities.
