South Korea’s exports swung back to positive territory in February, marking the 16th consecutive month of export influx.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>CNBC<\/span><\/a>, it expanded 20.6 percent from 2021 to USD53.9 billion, beating the Reuters\u2019 poll, which forecasted an 18.2 percent growth. Semiconductors exports increased by 24 percent year-on-year, while petrochemicals, oil, and steel products exports increased by 24.7 percent, 66.2 percent, and 40.1 percent, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast, imports increased by 25.1 percent to USD53.1 billion, with crude oil, gas, and coal accounting for USD12.5 billion. The trade balance improved from a USD4.8 billion deficit in January to a USD0.8 billion profit in February.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yonhap News Agency<\/span><\/a> shared that during the first 10 days of March, South Korea\u2019s exports grew 14.9 percent. Outbound shipments stood at USD18.7 billion compared to last year\u2019s USD16.3 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, imports gained 15.3 percent year-on-year to USD20.1 billion, resulting in a trade deficit of USD1.4 billion, according to data provided by the Korea Customs Service.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semiconductors made up about 20% of total exports. Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s largest memory chip manufacturer, and its smaller rival SK hynix Inc. are the key contributors.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the back of strong exports, South Korea, Asia’s fourth-largest economy is on the mend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, <\/span>Hankyoreh<\/span><\/a> reported that the country\u2019s economy grew four percent in 2021, which was the highest growth rate recorded since 2010 when it rose to 6.8 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year’s nominal GDP was KRW2.1 quadrillion (USD1.7 trillion), up 6.4 percent from 2020. The nominal GNI expanded by 6.9 percent in 2021, exceeding the nominal GDP growth rate of 6.4 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n
