Korea's exports top $900B for first time, near $1T
South Korea's exports have surpassed $900 billion for the first time, with monthly exports hitting a record $115.3 billion in October, up 93.7 percent year-on-year, driven by strong semiconductor shipments, Yonhap and the Korea Times report. The Korea Economic Daily notes the country's cumulative exports have now crossed the $900 billion mark, putting annual exports on track to reach $1 trillion. However, Hankyoreh cautions that US trade risks could cloud the outlook. Korean media highlight the milestone as a sign of economic strength, though Business Korea notes per capita income is set to top $40,000 for the first time, underscoring an uneven recovery.
