初步数据显示，由于出口增加而进口下降，韩国2025年4月的贸易顺差从去年同期的15.3亿美元增至48.8亿美元，高于市场预期的44亿美元。出口意外同比增长3.7%，轻松超过了市场预测的1.6%的跌幅，此前一个月下调了3.0%的涨幅。与此同时，进口下降2.3%，扭转了前一个月2.3%的增长，而市场预计下降6.9%。
South Korea's trade surplus increased to USD 4.88 billion in April 2025, up from USD 1.53 billion in the same month a year earlier, larger than market expectations of USD 4.40 billion, preliminary data showed, as exports rose while imports fell. Exports unexpectedly grew by 3.7% year-on-year, easily beating market forecasts of a 1.6% fall, after a downwardly revised 3.0% gain in the prior month. Meanwhile, imports dropped 2.3%, reversing a 2.3% growth in the previous month, compared to market estimates of a 6.9% fall.
