10월 소비심리 전월대비 12.2p 상승...사회적 거리 두기 완화에 따른 개선
South Korea's consumer sentiment in October rose to a seven-month high in large part due to eased social distancing measures.
According to the Bank of Korea on Wednesday, the composite consumer sentiment index was at 91-point-6...up 12-point-2 points from September.
The central bank attributed the rise to business activities resuming as the spread of COVID-19 slowed down.
However, this month's reading remains below the 100 threshold, meaning more people are still more pessimistic than optimistic about the economy.
