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

一 |     (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.。    近日，不少网友发帖称，最近自己所在城市的刮刮乐“一票难求”，即开型彩票缺货情况较为严重。此前网上有传言称国家正在管控即开型彩票的发售情况，记者向中国体彩和中国福彩进行求证，双方均表示目前没有收到管控通知，缺货是因为供不应求。网友们上传的各地彩票站缺货情况4月23日至25日，海报新闻记者走访了北京市东城区和朝阳区的几家体育彩票和福利彩票站点，发现即开型彩票确实存在缺货情况。“平时就指望着卖刮刮乐能挣点钱，我这两个月都断了两回货了。”在东城区一家临街的彩票站点，记者注意到即开型彩票的展示柜里空空如也。

二 | 彩票店老板告诉记者，这次断货已经有一个多星期了。在和彩票店老板交流中，记者了解到，目前，体彩和福彩的即开型彩票主要靠各站点的老板自行在官方网络渠道进行“抢票”。“但是现在官方也不放票了，想抢也抢不着。

三 | 我们这属于临街的小微店，主要就靠着刮刮乐挣钱。”彩票店老板说。彩票店老板告诉记者，即开型彩票紧缺的情况大概是从去年年底开始的，“过去在网上订票都随便定，卖得不好的我们都不定，现在不行了，想抢都抢不到，没有票。”除了北京地区，记者在社交平台搜索关键词“刮刮乐缺货”，发现湖南、河南、广西、浙江等地也出现了不同程度的断货情况。

四 | 4月11日，羊城晚报记者走访发现，广东广州线下多个店铺没有“刮刮乐”可售。对此，店家的解释是因为过于火热而导致的全国性缺货。4月10日中午，越牛新闻记者走访浙江绍兴城区多家彩票店，发现体彩和福彩门店都出现了缺货、断货的情况，不少店主只能靠囤货和借来维持店面运营。

五 | 此前，有部分网友议论，即开型彩票缺货是因为国家出台了相关的管控措施。记者也了解到，2023年10月，财政部发布公告称，停止销售41款即开型福利彩票。这一信息是否表示即开型彩票货源紧缺是受到相关部门的管控？就这一问题，记者向中国福彩和中国体彩进行了求证。“我们没有接到管控的通知。主要是因为印刷供不上销售，所以即开型彩票近期可能有一些短缺，过段时间会好的。”中国体彩工作人员表示。中国福彩的工作人员也给了记者同样的答案，即开型彩票目前广受消费者欢迎，断货是因为供不应求。“目前刮刮乐在全国都处于供不应求的状态，卖的很好。消费者想要买到刮刮乐的话可以多去几家站点看看。”依据规定，即开型彩票在印制等流程方面管理严格，有关机构要先报批及预订彩票印制的数额数量，继而再发行上市。相关人士表示，目前来看，即开型彩票热度提升明显，可能超出了印制数量预期，在市场出现供不应求的情况。（中国小康网综合羊城晚报、海报新闻、越牛新闻）。
