South Korea posted a record $12.24 billion current account surplus in November 2025—the largest for any November on record—supported by robust exports during a semiconductor upcycle, the Bank of Korea said Friday. This marked a sharp rise from October's $6.81 billion and continued monthly surpluses since May 2023. Building on the record $709.7 billion annual exports reported late last year, the January data underscores the year's exceptional external accounts performance.
Colombia recorded a current account deficit of $2.853 million in the third quarter of 2025, equivalent to 2.4% of GDP. This figure exceeded the previous quarter but fell short of market expectations. The rise was mainly due to a deterioration in the goods trade balance, though remittances helped mitigate it.
