The Korea Development Institute (KDI) released its September issue of "Economic Trends" on July 7th, stating that the South Korean economy continues to show signs of improvement, with AI-related investments performing particularly well. Exports and equipment investment, centered on semiconductors, maintained rapid growth, while production in AI-related sectors such as metal processing, electrical equipment, and machinery also performed well. However, the KDI pointed out that uncertainties stemming from instability in the Middle East and US trade policies remain high, and economic improvement has not yet fully translated into household income, resulting in a slow recovery in consumption. Real wages for workers grew by only 0.3% in the first half of the year, limiting the recovery of household purchasing power and constraining a rebound in consumption. Data shows that South Korean exports increased by 68.7% year-on-year in August, maintaining strong growth; equipment investment grew by 24.9% in July, with investments in AI infrastructure, such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment, continuing their rapid growth. Industrial production grew by 3.1% year-on-year in July, higher than the average growth rate in the second quarter, but retail sales declined by 0.8%, and service sector production growth slowed to 3.5%, indicating a still weak consumption recovery.
