Korea’s biz sentiment hits nearly 4-yr high in August on chip, holiday demand_我的网站

A |     (Yonhap)South Korea’s business sentiment rose to its highest level in nearly four years in August, driven by improving confidence in the manufacturing sector led by semiconductors, increased passenger demand during the summer vacation season, and a recovery in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector.According to the Bank of Korea on Wednesday, the composite business sentiment index (CBSI) for all industries rose 1.1 points from July to 99.6 in August. It was the highest level since September 2022, when the index stood at 102, marking a second straight monthly increase after falling 1.2 points in June and rising 0.8 points in July.The CBSI is a measure of corporate sentiment calculated from five major indicators for manufacturing and four for non-manufacturing. A reading above the 2003-2025 average of 100 signals optimism, while a reading below 100 signals pessimism.The BOK noted that manufacturing, led by semiconductors, has driven the recovery in business sentiment since the downturn in late 2022, while nonmanufacturing also improved this month, pushing overall sentiment to a nearly four-year high.The manufacturing CBSI rose 0.6 point to 103.8 in August, extending its gains to five straight months and reaching its highest level since June 2022, when it was 107.1. It has stayed above its long-term average of 100 for four months after surpassing it in May at 100.8, its first reading above 100 in three years and nine months.Higher finished-product inventories, up 0.6 point, and improved financial conditions, up 0.4 point, drove the August gain.The CBSI for large companies fell 1.6 points to 103.7, ending a five-month rise, while the index for small and midsize enterprises rose 2.2 points to 99.8, its highest since June 2023, when it was 103.2. Sentiment among small and midsize enterprises has risen for two straight months since July.The CBSI for export-oriented companies rose 1 point to 108.5, its highest since May 2022, when it was 114. The index for domestic-oriented companies fell 0.6 point to 99.4.The BOK, however, called the declines at large and domestic-oriented companies temporary, saying sentiment has broadly improved across companies of all sizes and both export- and domestic-oriented businesses since the start of the year.The nonmanufacturing CBSI rose 1.5 points to 96.7, rebounding after two straight monthly declines from May’s 97.5. Higher sales, up 0.6 point, and improved financial conditions, up 0.5 point, led the gain.The BOK said nonmanufacturing sentiment improved more sharply as transportation and passenger demand increased during the summer vacation season and the broadcasting, film and services industries recovered.Among manufacturers, sentiment in electronics, video and telecommunications equipment improved on higher printed circuit board prices and the use of stockpiled inventories as operating rates were reduced during the vacation season.Food products also improved as the exchange rate lowered prices for imported ingredients and selling prices rose for products including processed meat.In nonmanufacturing, transportation and warehousing sentiment improved on higher ocean freight rates and increased passenger demand, while information and communications sentiment rose on better performance among video, broadcasting and IT service companies.The outlook for September also improved, with the all-industry CBSI forecast rising 3.1 points from August to 99.6. The manufacturing outlook rose 2 points to 102.5 and the nonmanufacturing outlook 3.9 points to 97.6.The Economic Sentiment Index (ESI), which combines the BSI and Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI), rose 1.5 points to 99.4 in August. Its seasonally adjusted cyclical component rose 0.4 points to 96.9, the highest since September 2022, when it was 97.9.The survey was conducted from August 10 to 18 among 3,524 companies nationwide, with 3,170 responding, including 1,770 manufacturers and 1,400 nonmanufacturers.。    　　8月21日电 国务院新闻办公室8月21日举行“开局起步‘十五五’”系列主题新闻发布会。财政部副部长廖岷介绍，按照7月30日召开的中共中央政治局会议部署，结合前期政策执行情况和调研中各方意见，已对财政金融协同促内需政策作了优化完善，从今年8月1日起开始实施。

B | 具体来讲，主要是有三个新的举措：　　一是拓宽贴息范围。充分考虑企业的实际需要，在先前固定资产贷款的基础之上，将新发放的流动资金贷款也纳入了中小微企业贷款贴息的政策范围；更好贴近大众消费习惯，将包括购车、装修在内的新发生的各类信用卡分期消费都纳入到政策支持范围，按此，消费者只要是用信用卡分期方式进行消费，都可以享受贴息优惠。　　二是增加了经办机构。进一步扩大中小微企业贷款贴息、服务业经营主体贷款贴息经办机构范围，从先前约100家增加到了约400家，包括21家全国性银行和金融监管评级3A及以上的城商行、农村合作金融机构、民营银行、外资银行，广泛覆盖城乡经营主体，把服务窗口进一步开到群众家的门口。　　三是进一步提高额度上限。将享受贴息政策的中小微企业贷款规模上限由5000万元提高到7500万元，将享受贴息政策的服务业经营主体的贷款规模上限由1000万元提高到2000万元；将享受政策的个人消费贷款的贴息上限由以前的3000元提高到了5000元，以更好满足经营主体投资和消费需求。　　廖岷表示，结合经济发展需要，正在继续研究制订财政金融协同的新政策和新举措，并于今年下半年推出。同时，强化统筹协调，将与央行等金融管理部门一道，推动财政金融联动常态化和长效化。期待这些政策能够进一步增加企业和居民的获得感。
