중동전쟁에도 4월 수출 859억 달러 `역대 2위`…반도체 수출 319억 달러, 동월 최고

In April, South Korea’s exports reached a record 8.59 billion dollars, the second-highest on record, despite the Middle East conflict, driven largely by a record 3.19 billion dollars in semiconductor exports. The country maintained a trade surplus for two consecutive months, exceeding 20 billion dollars. Rising oil prices boosted petroleum exports, contributing to economic growth.
