South Korea's Manufacturing Sector Sees Decline in December Amid Pessimistic Outlook

Credited from: REUTERS

  • South Korea's factory activity has contracted for December, with the PMI falling to 49.0, down from 50.6 in November.
  • This marks contraction for the third time since August, with output declining for four consecutive months.
  • Manufacturers' sentiment dipped below the 50 threshold for the first time since mid-2020, marking the lowest level in over 4 years.
  • Factors contributing to this pessimism include U.S. trade policy uncertainty and domestic political instability, including the recent impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.
  • The South Korean economy is forecasted to see slow export growth of 1.5% in 2025, down from 6.3% in 2024.
