Deep Tide TechFlow update: On July 20, Moody’s Analytics said in a report that South Korea’s second-quarter economic growth rate may slow from the first quarter’s 1.8% to 0.9%. With the semiconductor industry boom driven by AI, exports—especially semiconductor exports—will again take on the main role. South Korea’s domestic demand is still expected to remain weak, and consumption will improve only slightly. Higher energy costs are intensifying inflation pressure, and measures taken by the government can only partially ease it. South Korea’s initial GDP reading for the second quarter will be released on Thursday. (Jinshi)
