9月初韩国出口继续保持稳健增长势头，全球对人工智能（AI）的需求提振半导体产品出口，令高度依赖贸易的韩国经济受惠。
海关周一公布的数据显示，经工作日差异调整后，9月前20天的出口同比增长89.8%。8月同期初步报告的出口增幅为61.5%。
未经调整的出口增长78.3%，进口增长26.7%，贸易顺差接近230亿美元。
半导体依然是推动出口增长的引擎，芯片出口同比激增259.4%。石油产品出口增长47.8%，汽车出口增长9.3%。
按目的地划分，对中国出口增长了113.8%，对美国出口增长118%。对越南和欧盟的出口分别增长了44.8%和37%。
数据显示，韩国第三季度末的贸易势头依然强劲，进一步印证了韩国央行对经济足够强劲，能够承受更高借贷成本的看法。
韩国央行8月将基准利率上调0.25个百分点至3%，连续第二次会议加息。由于增长强于预期且潜在通胀顽固，决策者采取了先发制人的行动。
