[THE INVESTOR] Korea’s exports jumped 13.4 percent last month from a year, the Trade Ministry said on June 1.
Outbound shipments came to US$45 billion last month, up from US$39.7 billion tallied a year earlier, according to the ministry.
The country’s exports have been on a steady rise since November led by an upturn in oil prices and recovering global trade.
Imports also soared 18.2 percent on-year to US$39.1 billion in May.
