[THE INVESTOR] South Korea’s export prices fell for a 50th consecutive month in September, central bank data showed on Oct. 14.
In local currency terms, export prices fell 8.3 percent last month from a year earlier, according to preliminary data from the Bank of Korea.
From a month earlier, however, export prices gained 0.7 percent, it said.
Export prices of industrial goods slipped 8.4 percent year-on-year in September while those of agricultural and fisheries products climbed 10 percent during the same period.
South Korea’s exports backtracked 5.9 percent from a year earlier in September due mainly to sluggish shipments of cars and mobile devices. Outbound shipments came to US$40.9 billion last month, down from $43.4 billion the same month last year, according to government data.
Import prices, in local currency terms, also dropped 7.8 percent on-year last month due to lower oil prices.
The monthly average price of Dubai crude, South Korea’s benchmark, stood at US$43.33 a barrel in September, down from $45.77 from a year earlier.
