Korea's October Exports Double on Chip Boom

South Korea's exports more than doubled in the first 20 days of October, reaching a record $61.6 billion, driven by robust semiconductor shipments, according to customs data released on October 21. The Korean won also extended gains to a fresh two-year high against the U.S. dollar, supported by strong exports and foreign inflows. Korean media outlets are highlighting the record-breaking figures and the continued upswing in chip shipments as a key driver of the economic momentum.
