El Banco de Corea informó que Corea del Sur registró en marzo el mayor superávit por cuenta corriente mensual de su historia, alcanzando los 37 330 millones de dólares, impulsado por el sólido desempeño de las exportaciones de semiconductores.

El superávit por cuenta corriente en marzo aumentó significativamente respecto a los 23 190 millones de dólares de febrero. Esto marca el trigésimo quinto mes consecutivo de superávit desde mayo de 2023.

Las exportaciones aumentaron un 56,9 por ciento interanual hasta alcanzar la cifra récord de 94 320 millones de dólares. Los envíos de semiconductores y productos de TI lideraron el crecimiento. Las importaciones subieron un 17,4 por ciento, situándose en torno a los 59 240 millones de dólares.

La cuenta de viajes registró un superávit de 140 millones de dólares gracias a los conciertos de BTS en Seúl y Goyang. Este fue el primer superávit de este tipo en más de 11 años, desde noviembre de 2014. Un funcionario del Banco de Corea señaló que las tensiones en Oriente Medio podrían afectar las cifras de abril, pero es poco probable que alteren la tendencia general.
