South Korea's industrial output rebounded in November, and consumption and corporate investment posted sharp increases.  

According to Statistics Korea on Thursday, the country's overall industrial output increased one-point-two percent on-month in November. 

Industrial output remained flat in August and gained point-eight percent in September, but decreased one-point-eight percent in October. 

Retail sales, an economic indicator for consumption, gained five-point-six percent last month, marking the largest growth in almost nine years, propelled by large discount events and the release of new smartphones. 

The retail sales index also posted a record high thanks to a sharp increase in consumption. 

Corporate investment jumped ten-point-one percent, the largest increase since it rose 13-point-four percent in March, boosted by investments in the auto sector.
