Abstract

Korean Abstract: □ 최근 우리 경제는 건설투자가 양호한 모습을 나타내고 있으나, 여타 부문이 부진하면서 경기가 점차 둔화되고 있는 것으로 판단됨.

○ 민간소비 증가세가 악화되는 가운데, 투자는 건설투자가 양호한 흐름을 나타내고 있으나, 설비투자는 감소세를 지속

- 소비 관련 서비스업이 여전히 부진한 가운데, 소매판매의 증가세가 둔화되고 소비자심리지수도 큰 폭으로 하락하는 등 민간소비 회복세가 약화되고 있음.

- 건설투자가 건축부문을 중심으로 비교적 큰 폭으로 증가하였으나, 설비투자는 운송장비의 부진이 지속되면서 감소함.

○ 수출 증가세가 낮은 수준에 정체된 가운데, 제조업생산과 취업자 수는 비교적 큰 폭으로 감소하며 경기 부진을 시사하고 있음.

- 11월 중 수출은 조업일수가 확대되면서 증가로 전환되었으나, 물량 기준으로는 여전히 부진한 것으로 판단됨.

- 제조업생산이 감소하고 평균가동률도 매우 낮은 수준(70.3%)으로 하락한 가운데, 제조업 취업자 수는 감소폭이 점차 확대되고 있음.

- 아울러 동행지수 순환변동치도 전월에 이어 하락하면서 경기가 둔화되고 있음을 시사

English Abstract: The Korean economy moderated as most economic indicators, except construction investment weakened.

Though construction investment exhibited a high growth, private consumption growth weakened and facilities investment growth trended downward.

Amid consumption-related services remained sluggish, retail sales growth slowed and consumer sentiment index tumbled, pointing to a weakening recovery of private consumption.

Construction investment exhibited a relatively large growth mainly in the building construction sector, but facilities investment receded on continued sluggishness in transport equipment.

Exports remained stagnant at a low level and manufacturing production and the number of employed dropped sharply, pointing to a slack in economic activity.

November’s exports turned to an increase on more workdays but remained sluggish in terms of volume.

Manufacturing production decreased as the capacity utilization rate dropped to a very low level (70.3%) and the number of employed declined at an accelerating pace.

The cyclical component of the coincident composite index continued last month’s retreat, hinting at a slowdown in economic activity.
