Abstract

Korean Abstract: □ 최근 우리 경제는 낮은 성장세를 지속하고 있으나, 추가적인 경기 둔화의 가능성은 축소되고 있는 것으로 판단됨.

○ 광공업 생산 및 출하의 개선이 지연되는 가운데, 동행지수 순환변동치도 내수 관련 지표를 중심으로 하락하고 있음.

- 광공업생산 및 출하가 2월 중 조업일수 증가 등의 영향으로 다소 확대되었으나, 1~2월 누계 기준으로는 여전히 낮은 증가세를 지속하고 있음.

╺ 설비투자가 감소세를 지속하는 등 내수 전반의 개선 추세가 약화됨에 따라 동행지수 순환변동치가 하락하고 있음.

╺수출도 3월 중 감소폭이 축소되었으나, 세계 경제의 성장세 둔화로 인해 단기간에 부진에서 벗어나기는 어려울 것으로 판단됨.

○ 다만, 서비스업 생산이 최근의 증가세를 유지하는 가운데 건설투자도 양호한 흐름을 지속함에 따라 추가적인 경기 둔화의 가능성은 축소되고 있는 것으로 사료됨.

╺ 서비스업 생산은 증가세가 다소 축소되기는 하였으나, 비교적 양호한 흐름을 유지하고 있음.

╺ 아울러 건설투자 및 건설수주가 건축부문을 중심으로 높은 증가세를 유지하면서 경기하방 압력을 완충하고 있음

English Abstract: Korea’s growth has slowed gradually, but the economy is less likely to witness further weakness.

Mining and manufacturing production and shipments are still lagging, while the cyclical component of the coincident composite index has decelerated mainly in domestic demand indicators.

Mining and manufacturing production and shipments improved thanks to the increased workdays in February but have continued the downward trend on a cumulative basis between January and February.

Facilities investment has weakened, with a moderation of the improvements in overall domestic demand, leading to a decrease in the cyclical component of the coincident composite index.

Exports showed a smaller decline in March but a near-term recovery seems far away for now due to the slowing growth of the global economy.

Meanwhile, services production maintained the recent upward trend, and construction investment a favorable position, implying that further economic slowdown is less likely.

The growth in services production decelerated slightly while maintaining a relatively favorable momentum.

Construction investment and orders received continued to rise at a high rate, mainly in building construction, cushioning the downward economic pressure.
