2026.10.1500:00:00UTC+00South Korea’s Import Growth Accelerates to 26% YoY in September 2026

South Korea’s imports rose 26.0% year-over-year in September 2026, marking a notable acceleration from the previously reported 22.4% gain on the same basis, according to data updated on 15 October 2026. Both the current and previous readings compare each month’s performance with the same month a year earlier.

The latest figure suggests a strengthening in external demand or higher import prices—or a combination of both—relative to the prior comparison period. The move from 22.4% to 26.0% year-over-year growth indicates that import momentum has quickened, potentially signaling increased domestic activity that may have implications for South Korea’s trade balance and broader economic outlook.
