South Korea’s Export Price Index rose 49.1% year-over-year in July 2026, slightly up from 48.7% in June, according to data updated on 13 August 2026. The figures compare price changes for each month against the same month a year earlier.
The modest acceleration suggests export prices continue to grow at a historically elevated pace, with July’s reading marking a further strengthening from June’s already high year-on-year increase. While higher export prices can support revenues for South Korean exporters, they may also signal ongoing cost pressures in trade-sensitive sectors.
