South Korea\u2019s exports jumped to a record high in July by 29.6% compared to the same month a year earlier to $55.43 billion, the trade ministry said on today.<\/p>\n

The ministry said that this is the largest amount since South Korea began compiling relevant data in 1956.<\/p>\n

The boom is referred to overseas demand for chips and biohealth products, which extended export growth to a ninth consecutive month.<\/p>\n

South Korea\u2019s exports supported the country\u2019s economic recovery that was deeply affected by its COVID-19 outbreak yet.<\/p>\n

That being said, growth slowed from 39.8% in June on a fading base effect from a pandemic-induced slump last year.<\/p>\n

The figure was also short of the 30.2% median of 16 analyst estimates in a Reuters survey.<\/p>\n

Imports soared 38.2% from a year earlier compared to a 40.7% rise in June.<\/p>\n

As the tightened social distancing measures since mid-July weakened consumer sentiment at home due, the Bank of Korea is counting on global demand to lead economic growth which it forecasts at 4% for this year.<\/p>\n

South Korea\u2019s exports<\/h2>\n

July exports of chips and biohealth products gained 39.6% and 27.2%, respectively, as growth in exports was widely expected to slow.<\/p>\n

Exports of petrochemical products also surged 59.5%, while those of cars and computers increased 12.3% and 26.4% respectively.<\/p>\n

“Demand for main exports items across chips, cars and petrochemical products remains strong, as economic recovery is being led by advanced nations,” said analyst Chun Kyu-yeon at Hana Financial Investment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Having said that, the pace of growth will weaken on fading base effects, and some hiccups in supply chains are raising logistical costs also.”<\/p>\n

By destination, exports to China – South Korea’s biggest trading partner – gained 15.7% on year. Overseas sales to the United States and the European Union also increased 32.1% and 43.9%, respectively.<\/p>\n

South Korea is currently battling its worst COVID-19 outbreak with record numbers of cases per day in the past week.<\/p>\n

Tighter curbs on movement and activity have been enacted to prevent spread of the coronavirus during South Korea’s peak summer holiday season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
