Korea's business sentiment rebounded in July, driven by improved confidence among manufacturers amid robust semiconductor exports, a central bank survey showed Thursday.
The Composite Business Sentiment Index (CBSI) for all industries stood at 98.5 in July, up 0.8 point from the previous month, according to data from the Bank of Korea (BOK).
The reading marked a rebound after the index fell 1.2 points in June.
The index measures corporate outlooks on overall business conditions, with a reading below 100 indicating that pessimists outnumber optimists.
