S Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced that, on an unadjusted basis, S Korea's exports in May surged 53.2% YoY, marking the largest increase since 1984, to a record monthly high of USD87.75 billion. Imports rose 20.8% YoY to USD60.8 billion, resulting in a trade surplus of USD26.9 billion, the 16th consecutive month of surplus.

After adjusting for working days, S Korea's exports in May climbed 60.7% YoY. By region, exports to China increased 80.9% YoY to USD18.9 billion, while exports to the US grew 59.1% YoY to USD15.97 billion.

Benefiting from the global boom in AI and data center investments, semiconductor exports drove overall growth. Exports of computer-related products and petroleum products surged more than 290% and 46.6% YoY, respectively.

Last month's trade data supported the hawkish stance of the Bank of Korea. At its meeting last week, the central bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged, though two members dissented and advocated a rate hike. The central bank also guided that borrowing rates will trend upward going forward. (da/a)~
