South Korea’s current account surplus widened to USD 46.11 billion in August 2026, up from USD 42.08 billion in July. The goods account surplus rose to USD 46.81 billion in August from USD 40.43 billion a month earlier, as exports jumped 82.1% year-on-year to USD 104.80 billion and imports increased 23.8% to USD 57.99 billion.
