韩国全国经济人联合会周四发布的调查显示，受中东危机持续影响，韩国5月商业情绪依然悲观。按销售额排名的前600家企业商业景气指数（BSI）为87.5，低于100这一悲观者多于乐观者的基准线。这已是该指数连续两个月低于该水平。
韩国全国经济人联合会（FKI）对该国销售额前600家企业进行的月度调查显示，5月份的商业景气指数（BSI）为87.5。低于100的读数表明悲观者多于乐观者。其中，制造业为86.5，非制造业为88.4。在制造业内部，炼油与化学工业为89.7，汽车与运输设备行业为82.8。FKI将这种低迷归因于原油价格和航运成本的上涨。FKI经济部门负责人李相浩（Lee Sang-ho）表示：“为了防止外部冲击削弱韩国企业的竞争力，政府应支持包括石脑油、石油和天然气在内的石油产品价格稳定，同时迅速准备补充措施，以最大限度地减少原材料供应和生产方面的中断。”据一张图片说明显示，首尔南部安山市的一家塑料袋工厂因中东紧张局势导致的原材料短缺已于3月份停产。
