South Korea’s trade balance remained firmly in surplus in February, though it edged down compared with the previous reading. The country posted a trade surplus of 15.38B in February 2026, marginally below the prior figure of 15.51B recorded for the same month.
The slight dip suggests that, while external demand and export performance remain robust enough to keep the surplus elevated, momentum has softened somewhat. Both the previous and current readings refer to February 2026, indicating a minor revision in the data rather than a month‑to‑month shift.
The latest update, released on 14 March 2026, confirms that South Korea continues to run a strong positive trade balance, with only a modest adjustment to the initially reported figure for February.
