The majority of world economies including South Korea have seen exports fall since last June, according to World Trade Organization and Bank of Korea data.

Korea’s export revenue dropped by 2.9 percent in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period last year. A similar trend was seen among major economies including the U.S., Japan and China. France’s record in the first quarter of 2015 plummeted by 15.5 percent, reflecting the gradually strained global economy.
