South Korea posts record semiconductor exports in August
Seoul: South Korea recorded its highest ever monthly semiconductor exports in August despite growing pressure from US tariffs and other restrictions on the crucial sector, government data showed Monday.
Seoul recorded more than $15 billion in exports last month of semiconductors, a new record and an increase by almost a third from August 2024.
The surge was driven by strong demand from China and the exemption of chips from tariffs, the industry ministry said Monday.
