According to a report by Nikkei Asia citing Reuters, data released by the South Korean government on Sunday showed that South Korea's exports in October rose by 93.7% year-on-year to $115.28 billion, slightly above the median expectation of 93.2% from a Reuters survey of economists. This increase surpassed September's 83.7%, marking the largest rise since January 1974, also influenced by the timing difference of the Mid-Autumn Festival, resulting in more working days compared to the same period last year.Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Moon Sung-wook stated that October's exports continued to maintain growth above $110 billion, with exports expected to reach $1 trillion within November this year. From January to October, total exports amounted to $930 billion. An annual export exceeding $1 trillion would make South Korea the fourth country to reach that scale after the United States, China, and Germany.The Ministry of Trade reported that semiconductor overseas sales surged by 259.4% year-on-year to $56.44 billion, with prices and shipment volumes remaining high, related to ongoing facility investments by major global tech companies competing for leadership in the artificial intelligence industry. Computer sales increased by 496.6% due to rising demand for servers for AI services. Exports to China increased by 133.6%, to the United States by 185.8%, to Europe by 56.4%, and to Southeast Asia by 128.0%. Imports rose by 36.0% year-on-year to $72.78 billion, resulting in a monthly trade surplus of $42.50 billion.
