South Korea posted a current account surplus of $5.7 billion in April 2025, marking its twelfth consecutive month in the black, supported by strong export performance. However, the surplus was the smallest in three months. The goods account recorded a surplus of $8.99 billion, as exports rose 1.9% year-over-year to $58.57 billion, while imports fell 5.1% to $49.58 billion. Meanwhile, the services account registered a $2.83 billion deficit, driven by shortfalls in travel, other business services, and intellectual property usage. The primary income account posted a $190 million deficit due to reduced equity income, while the secondary income account showed a $260 million deficit.
