South Korea's exports in the early part of this month totaled $26.1 billion, the largest figure ever recorded for the period when excluding semiconductors.
The early-month export figure of $26.1 billion marks the largest on record for the period once semiconductor shipments are taken out of the tally. The result indicates that export strength is currently being carried not by the semiconductor sector alone, but by shipments across other product categories.
With semiconductors excluded, the $26.1 billion total represents the highest early-month figure to date, underscoring broad-based growth in non-semiconductor exports. The figure covers the opening stretch of the month's export cycle, the standard window used to track shipment momentum.
No breakdown by destination or product category was provided in the figures reviewed.
The claim that early-month exports reached $26.1 billion — the largest on record excluding semiconductors — is True.
