South Korea’s export prices jumped 40.8% year-on-year in April 2026, up sharply from a 29.5% rise in March, underscoring mounting price pressures in the country’s external sector. The surge was driven primarily by manufactured goods, which climbed 40.9%. Within this category, computers, electronic and optical equipment soared 88.7%, emerging as the chief driver of the overall increase. Additional momentum came from coal and petroleum products (up 101.8%), basic metals (24.8%) and chemical products (21.9%), pointing to broad-based strength across key industrial export segments. Prices for agricultural, forestry and marine products also advanced, rising 28.5%.
