Abstract

Korean Abstract: ■ 최근 우리 경제는 수출이 높은 증가율을 나타내었으나, 내수가 부진한 모습을 보이면서 전반적인 경기는 다소 둔화된 상황에 있는 것으로 판단됨.

○ 10월 수출은 조업일수의 증가에 따라 큰 폭으로 확대되었으나, 전반적인 흐름은 완만해지는 모습

- 추석연휴 이동의 영향이 없는 9~10월 평균 수출은 증가폭이 일부 축소됨.

○ 9월에는 투자가 부진한 흐름을 지속한 가운데 계절 요인이 더해지며 내수 증가세는 비교적 큰 폭으로 둔화됨.

- 추석연휴 이동으로 소매판매 증가폭이 크게 축소된 가운데, 전반적인 소비의 개선 흐름도 완만해지고 있음.

- 설비투자와 건설투자는 부진이 지속되면서 비교적 큰 폭으로 감소함.

English Abstract: ■ Export growth shot up temporarily, but domestic demand stayed weak, implying that overall economic activity appears subdued.

○ October exports soared on increased workdays, but the overall trend appears to decelerate.

- Average export growth for September to October, after controlling Chuseok holiday effect, slackened.

○ In September, the growth in domestic demand exhibited a pretty steep slowdown as investment continued to weaken and even seasonal factors weighed on demand.

- Growth in retail sales shrank due to early Chuseok holidays and the overall improvement in consumption appears to be moderating.

- Facilities and construction investment continued to slump with relatively huge decreases in growth.
