South Korea’s export prices rose 28.7% year-on-year in March 2026, following an 11.1% increase in February (previously 10.7%), reflecting broad-based inflationary pressures across trade flows amid surging oil prices. The increase was mainly driven by manufactured goods (28.7%), with particular strength in computers and electronic equipment (61.6%), which stood out as the key contributor to overall gains. Additional support came from basic metals (19.5%) and chemical products (7.1%), reflecting broad-based strength across core industrial export sectors. Prices for agricultural, forestry and marine products (15.7%) also contributed positively, though to a lesser extent compared to high-value manufacturing. source: The Bank of Korea
