South Korean companies' business outlook for March has improved compared to the month before.<br />According to the Bank of Korea Thursday, the Business Survey Index for all industries recorded 73 for March,.... up 4 points on-month. <br />The BOK attributed the rising sentiment to new smartphone launches that will help drive demand for telecommunications equipment and increasing demand for auto parts. <br />The outlook for April remained the same at 76. <br />But the figure is still below 100, meaning there are more pessimists than optimists about the business outlook. <br />
