South Korea Industrial Output Tops Forecast
Industrial production in South Korea jumped 7.3% year-on-year in May 2022, accelerating from a 3.5% growth in April and topping expectations for a 3.1% increase. On a monthly, seasonally-adjusted basis, industrial output rose 0.1% in May, rebounding from a 3.3% slump in April in the latest sign that Asia’s fourth-largest economy maintains a mild recovery momentum amid heightened external uncertainty. The statistics agency said the rebound in industrial output in May was led by robust service production, as well as an increase in facility and construction investment. "The production of semiconductor-related equipment suffered setbacks due to disruptions in parts supplies. Last month, investment rebounded as such problems were resolved," Eo Woon-sun, a senior Statistics Korea official, told reporters.
