South Korea's statistical authorities are scheduled to publish gross domestic product figures on the 27th, followed by the industrial activity trends report on the 30th, according to the Ministry of Science and ICT's briefing materials on monthly industrial activity and price data.
The calendar places the GDP release on the 27th of the month, with the industrial activity trends publication set for the 30th. The ministry's briefing video, titled "August industrial activity, prices and more," features a representative image showing the 30th as the release date for the industrial activity figures.
The industrial activity trends report is a monthly release covering key short-term indicators of the Korean economy, and the accompanying briefing materials group it with price statistics as part of the month's major economic data announcements.
The briefing materials, published by the ministry, serve as the primary source for the schedule, with the video's title card indicating the September 30, 2026 release date for the industrial activity data. The GDP figures due on the 27th precede the broader industrial activity report by three days.
No further details on the contents of either release were included in the materials reviewed.
The claim that the GDP data will be announced on the 27th and the industrial activity trends on the 30th is True.
