Puede que el débil crecimiento de las exportaciones surcoreanas sea transitorio -- Market Talk
1st Aug 2024 08:14
(Sharecast News) - 0712 GMT - Puede que el crecimiento más débil de lo anticipado en las exportaciones surcoreanas durante el mes de julio sea un hecho aislado, en vez de adelantar una probable ralentización en las exportaciones entrando ya en la segunda mitad del año, según escribe el economista de Barclays Bum Ki Son en una nota de análisis. El inicio más temprano de lo habitual de las vacaciones de verano para los fabricantes de automóviles surcoreanos y el impacto de un tifón sobre algunos de los principales socios comerciales de Corea del Sur probablemente haya impactado de forma negativa sobre las exportaciones, especialmente en los últimos diez días de julio, destaca Son. Las exportaciones del país crecieron a un ritmo interanual del 13,9% en julio, tras un incremento revisado del 5,1% en junio, el cual se ha quedado corto frente a las previsiones para un aumento del 18,6% según una encuesta entre 15 economistas llevada acabo por el Wall Street Journal.
