韩国央行报告称，受半导体出口强劲增长的推动，韩国3月份经常账户盈余达到373.3亿美元，创下有史以来单月最高纪录。
3月份的经常账户盈余较2月份的231.9亿美元大幅上升。这也是自2023年5月以来连续第35个月实现盈余。
出口额同比增长56.9%，达到创纪录的943.2亿美元。半导体和IT产品的出货量引领了这一增长。进口额则增长17.4%，至约592.4亿美元。
得益于BTS在首尔和高阳举办的演唱会，旅游账户录得1.4亿美元的盈余。这是自2014年11月以来的逾11年内首次出现此类盈余。韩国央行的一位官员指出，中东局势的紧张可能会影响4月份的数据，但不太可能改变整体趋势。
社交平台X上的用户对韩国创纪录的经常账户盈余反应积极，将其与人工智能驱动的半导体出口联系起来，并指出这可能提振韩元汇率，同时也有少数人质疑这种增长是否具有可持续性，还是仅为一次性现象。
